It won't heal all our wounds that we have suffered, but it definitely brings a lot of change if Canada recognizes the genocide of Hazaras in Afghanistan. Once the genocide is recognized, it will give us peace of mind that our voices are heard.
When I was a young, little girl, when attacks were happening, even in the news, everything was misinterpreted around the world. The number of people who were killed was misrepresented to the world, and the number of injured people.
This will definitely bring a bit of awareness to the world. If you recognize it, it will bring awareness to the world, and it may change a lot of laws on how to treat even refugees, newcomers to the country. This is the most important thing because when our genocide is not recognized, first of all when we are refugees in another country, we have to be first, as Hazaras, treated as refugees. We don't need another story, an individual story. Once we are Hazaras, we are refugees because we are targeted systematically in Afghanistan and in the neighbouring countries.
