Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai has met Scotland's First Minister John Swinney in Edinburgh to discuss efforts to have gender apartheid recognised as a crime under international law.

The Scottish Government highlighted its support for Afghan students, including funding measures that enabled some to continue their education in Scotland.
