      This website is dedicated to all the Hazara men, women and children living around the world. My purpose for this website is to tell the world about the Hazara people: their history, their culture, and their suffering…past and present. This website will be dedicated to raising and maintaining an awareness of the Hazara ethnic group. I intend for this site to serve as a beacon of hope and a shining light for the future of all Hazaras, especially Hazara women. I also intend for it to serve as a reminder of the history of darkness under which many Hazaras have suffered and died over the last two centuries because of their ethnicity and religion. I hope to educate those who have never heard of the Hazaras and to provide historical and cultural information to those who wish to learn more. My main focus will be to examine Hazara women lives, struggles and oppression. I wish to specifically educate the world about the dual oppression of Hazara women, and their dual identities.
      This website is the first step in a series of activities and projects that I am working on or have completed. I have successfully written a master’s thesis on Hazara Women Identities and Oppression. I have completed a 12 minute documentary film titled the Oppression of Hazara in Afghanistan. I am working on a second documentary film on the Dual Oppression of Hazara Women. I am continuing my activism to bring the plight of the Hazara women to the world’s attention by lecturing and writing. Links to my thesis, films and online video work can be found on this website. I will also be posting my academic papers as references and resources for those who wish to review them. As I move forward on my projects, I will continue to add to the information and links contained here.
