#Call to Action

In the midst of turmoil and danger, Hazara women who were forced to flee their home countries endure unimaginable hardships, constantly living on the edge. These women have received their Acknowledgment Letters from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) have file numbers and are waiting for the acceptance of their visas. They are trapped in an unending cycle of harassment, theft, and abuse. They live in constant fear, robbed of their sense of safety and security. In this blog post, we want to shine a spotlight on the urgent need to expedite their visa processing and ensure their safe passage to Australia. Join us in advocating for the protection and empowerment of these vulnerable women.

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 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.
