Hazara Women of Afghanistan Share Digital Stories is a digital empowerment program designed to support refugees in the D.C. metropolitan area and Malmö, Sweden, by providing them with digital literacy and storytelling skills.
In January 2025, facilitators led five sessions encouraging participants to express themselves and share stories from their communities, promoting peace and unity. This program fosters collaboration, creativity, and confidence while amplifying the voices of Hazara women.
A key long-term goal is to help Hazara women in the Afghanistani diaspora recognize the importance of sharing their lived experiences. Through storytelling, they can better understand their journeys and reshape their identities. For centuries, women have used storytelling to convey knowledge, preserving vital aspects of their cultural heritage. The Taliban’s silencing of women’s voices and narratives poses a significant threat to Hazara’s identity. Additionally, the generalized story of women in Afghanistan mustn’t subsume the unique experiences of Hazara women of Afghanistan.
We are excited to launch this program, believing that sharing Hazara women’s digital stories will empower them and inspire greater understanding and appreciation of their resilience.
