# I Am Hazara

 



I am Hazara

I am Hazara. My identity resonates with the strength of a thousand mountains and the resilience of a flowing river. I am a tapestry woven with threads of history, culture, and heritage.

I am Hazara. My heart carries the weight of countless stories, etched with both joy and sorrow. I am a living testament to the endurance of my people, who have weathered storms of adversity and emerged with unyielding spirit.

I am Hazara. My eyes have witnessed the pain of loss, the anguish of displacement, and the longing for a home that feels forever distant. But within me burns a flame of hope, flickering against the winds of injustice.

I am Hazara. My voice echoes with the echoes of generations before me, their struggles reverberating through my being. I am a song sung in defiance, a cry for justice that echoes through the valleys and reverberates across the mountains.

I am Hazara. My dreams are woven with the threads of equality, respect, and peace. I yearn for a world where my appearance and beliefs do not define my worth, where my existence is celebrated rather than diminished.

I am Hazara. My spirit refuses to be broken, even in the face of adversity. I rise above the hatred, the discrimination, and the ignorance that seeks to diminish my worth. I stand tall, rooted in the soil of my heritage.

I am Hazara. My humanity knows no bounds, transcending the boundaries of ethnicity or religion. I embrace diversity and seek understanding, extending my hand in friendship to those who choose compassion over prejudice.

I am Hazara. Hear my voice, see my face, and feel the depth of my struggle. Stand with me, not in sympathy, but in solidarity. Together, let us weave a tapestry of unity and compassion that spans beyond borders and brings forth a world where every breath is filled with equality and justice.

I am Hazara. And though the journey may be arduous, I will always a torch of hope, illuminating the path towards a future where my people are seen, heard, and valued.

#The Beginning

www.sisterpower.com.au I first met one of the girls through an English man. They were helping me and others to get women in danger out of Afghanistan. Ben Slater was taken by the Taliban because he intervened at the Torkham border. My group were being stopped by the Taliban, and I receive a terrifying message simply saying..."Please save us" I have never felt so helpless. My head was screaming "I'm an old lady in Queensland, what can I do?" In a panic I messaged Ben, and he went to sort out the problem with the Pakistani border guards. Ben got 25 of the group over the border, but the Taliban got him. I called the High Consulate in London, not knowing what was happening to him.  The 25 that got over the border were the first to come to Australia after the fall of Kabul. They came through the Darwin quarantine as COVID-19 was also rampant they are now happily settled in Australia. When Ben was in the Taliban jail he asked me to look after one of his friends, becau...

#In the shadows

  #In the shadows In Pakistan, the situation of acute food insecurity, as described, is undoubtedly a challenging one, and it can have far-reaching effects on various communities, including the Hazara population. It's important to note that the Hazara people, who primarily reside in certain regions of Pakistan, have historically faced multiple challenges and discrimination. In times of crisis, vulnerable populations like the Hazaras may be disproportionately affected due to existing socio-economic disparities and discrimination. They could face increased threats to their well-being, including limited access to food, livelihood opportunities, and safety. The intersection of these challenges can indeed put the Hazara community at greater risk. Humanitarian organisations, governments, and advocacy groups must be aware of these vulnerabilities and take targeted actions to ensure the protection and well-being of marginalised communities like the Hazaras during such crises.
