Abstract
Afghanistan is a country which has experienced years of conflict and war. This

unrest has forced large numbers of Afghans into diasporas, Hazaras comprising one of these

groups. Hazaras have mainly fled from rural Hazarajat to more urban areas in Pakistan.

Marginalization of Hazaras in general and girls in particular, both in Afghanistan and

Pakistan, restricts their ability to, for example, access education and challenge traditional

gender roles. However, in the authors’ view, the change of locality is but one factor that has

altered what kind of marginalization they experience, changing, among other things, the

sentiments toward girls’ education, as well as their access to schools. In analysing interviews

conducted with Hazara parents, teachers and female students in Pakistan, the authors argue

that this situation in a diaspora has made girls’ education more accessible, and can be seen as

an agent of change for both individuals and the Hazaras as a group.
