Bashir studied medicine and worked as a doctor in Sudan before fleeing the country due to persecution.

She sought asylum in the UK, where she currently resides with her husband and children.

Bashir has become an outspoken advocate for Darfur, using her experiences to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict and human rights abuses in the region.
