Afghan female medical students in Pakistan are facing the prospect of being sent back to Afghanistan, amid a continuing movement of Afghans out of Pakistan and large-scale deportations since 2023.
The students’ fears come as hundreds of thousands of Afghans have been deported from Pakistan during the period. More than two million Afghans have also left the country, according to the supplied account.
For women pursuing medical education, a return to Afghanistan would place their studies and future plans under severe uncertainty. The material does not provide details of the students’ universities, the number affected or any specific deadline for their departure.
No official response from the Pakistani or Afghan authorities is included. The latest situation is that the students remain fearful of being sent home while departures and deportations of Afghans from Pakistan continue.
