About Us

Who are we?

The Australian Hazara Advocacy Network (AHAN) is made up of members of the Australian-Hazara community  who have arrived in Australia as refugees, as children of refugees, and migrants.  

We are advocates, lawyers, health workers, community workers, tradespeople, educators, mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters.

 We’ve found a safe home and have been able to rebuild our lives in Australia.

 As people who have experienced persecution, societal marginalisation, and systemic violence and discrimination, we aim to work towards a world where the human right of Hazara people are recognised, respected and protected.

What we do

We exist to advocate, to educate, and to engage with governments, political leaders, communities, civil society, and the general public to keep a focus on the plight of Hazara people and to work toward a world where the rights and interests of of Hazara people are recognised, respected and protected.

Media Release: Third Anniversary of the Fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban

On the third anniversary of the Taliban’s violent return to power in Afghanistan, we must reflect on the grave human rights abuses that have unfolded over the past three years. To mark this tragic day, the Australian Hazara Advocacy Network (AHAN), in collaboration with the Parliamentary Friends of the Hazaras, is gathering at the Australian Parliament House to highlight the Taliban’s unchecked human rights violations by showcasing a documentary filmed by AHAN member Muzafar Ali during a recent trip to Afghanistan.

AHAN Statement: World Refugee Day

Today, June 20th, is World Refugee Day. A day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees, their rights, needs and dreams; to celebrate the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their homes to escape conflict or persecution; to focus global attention to find solutions to the plight of refugees and mobilise political will and resources to improve their social and economic inclusion.

This week, Refugee Week, is dedicated to raising awareness about the experiences of refugees and to celebrating the immense contributions they make around the world.
