Motion text
That this House commends the remarkable achievements of Shaqayeq Nejah, who was named the University of the Highlands and Islands, Moray, Student of the Year 2024; notes that her award comes in spite of the efforts of the Taliban Regime in Shaqayeq’s native Afghanistan, who have overseen extreme moves to implement the prohibition of education for women and girls; praises her efforts, not just in securing her own degree, but in assisting other refugees while in the UK and becoming a powerful advocate for equality; and wishes her all the best in her continued academic journey toward becoming a radiographer.
