“We are trying to solve our problems in education and employment in terms of women’s issues. Efforts are underway but it takes time. The issue will be solved soon,” Zabiullah Mujahid was quoted as saying by TOLOnews. When I met Nussrat he spoke passionately about the persecution and violence faced by Hazaras and ethnic minorities in Afghanistan, including the Jewish, Sikh, Hindu, Christian communities. As all social media will be aware, the Hazara community in particular has experienced a long history of religious and racial discrimination and is again being systematically targeted by extremists. The situation of Hazaras in Afghanistan has significantly worsened since the Taliban takeover, including as a result of attacks (which the Taliban is unable or unwilling to prevent) by members of the Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISPK) terrorist organisation.
