An Afghan teen won a full scholarship to a B.C. school. But Canada denied her study permit

An Afghan teenager who won a full scholarship to study in British Columbia found herself denied a study permit by Canada, highlighting a troubling trend of the country regularly rejecting permits for Afghan women and girls despite their significant educational barriers. Advocates argue this systemic issue reflects a troubling disregard for the severe obstacles these young women face in accessing education, raising serious questions about Canada's commitment to global equity and refugee protection. This case underscores the broader implications for Afghan girls' futures and the international community's responsibility to support them.
