Years of war, insecurity, and restrictive regimes — especially under Taliban rule — have forced millions to leave their homes and dreams behind.Those who once studied and worked with hope now stand in long lines at borders, carrying only a few belongings — and hearts full of memories. 💔 The Reality of Leaving Home:No one chooses to become a migrant willingly. People leave only when staying becomes more dangerous than leaving.They seek safety, dignity, and freedom in foreign lands — while the scent and love of their homeland remain forever in their hearts. 🎧 Tune in to Awaz-e-Dosti — a voice of friendship, resilience, and hope.Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and share to support Afghan stories and voices that deserve to be heard.

    Awaz-e-Dosti Session 2 Episode 28

    In this episode of Awaz-e-Dosti, our hosts Shabnaam and Mohammad Sharif Danish bring you two inspiring reports. The first report features a heartfelt conversation with Muzdha Nashty and guest Shezer Samim, a young Afghan migrant in Pakistan whose journey reflects resilience and hope. Despite the many challenges Afghan girls face in accessing education, Shezer persevered and earned admission to the Dentistry program at Allama Iqbal University in Lahore. She shares her struggles, determination, and achievements, emphasizing the importance of educational opportunities for Afghan girls. Her story is not only one of personal success but also a powerful reminder that with courage and persistence, dreams can overcome barriers. The second report highlights the life of Nadia, an Afghan woman who has lived in Pakistan for 30 years. Her family fled war in Nangarhar province when she was just two years old, first settling in Peshawar and later moving to Islamabad. There, Nadia grew up, went to school, got married, and is now raising two children. While her husband works in a shop, Nadia supports the family through hand embroidery. Despite spending her entire life in Pakistan, Nadia still feels like a refugee—without a proper identity or national ID. Her children, who speak both Urdu and Afghan languages, have never been to Afghanistan and consider Pakistan their home. However, the Pakistani government’s recent decision to stop renewing refugee cards has left Nadia and her family anxious and uncertain about their future. She emphasizes the importance of preserving Afghan culture and hopes for a peaceful homeland, while appealing to the Pakistani government and international community for a humane and legal solution that recognizes refugees who have called Pakistan home for decades.

He speaks candidly about the barriers Afghan refugees encounter in Pakistan, from employment restrictions and legal uncertainties to healthcare challenges and emotional hardship. Through these voices, Awaz-e-Dosti sheds light on the bittersweet reality of migration — the pain of exile, the longing for home, and the enduring hope for a better future.
