Muhammad Ali hailing from Hussaini village of Gojal Hunza, completed his PhD in Higher Education from the University of Queensland (UQ), Australia.

His thesis, titled, "Desire, Willfulness, and Becoming: Razhek Conversations with Women with Refugee Backgrounds about Their Journey to Postgraduate Studies", explores the stories of female postgraduate students with refugee backgrounds, focusing on their aspirations, challenges, and identities as they navigate the higher education landscape in Australia.

He embark on the PhD journey with great enthusiasm, yet the path was not without its share of turbulence. Throughout his study, he encountered various ethical and methodological challenges in engaging with the complex and unique experiences of women with refugee backgrounds. These challenges pressed him to seek an approach that could be responsive and sensitive to the intricacies of questions related to power dynamics and representation.

"Guided by the theoretical insights of the French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, and the feminist scholar Sara Ahmed, Ali turned to his own Wakhi background and adopted "Razhek Conversation" as a research and writing method. Razhek is a Wakhi word that refers to a small, informal outdoor platform or raised meeting place built in a neighbourhood in the Wakhi-speaking villages of Hunza, Pakistan. Razhek is used for sitting, meeting, telling stories, taking rest, socializing, and discussing personal and social issues.

Drawing on post-qualitative inquiry, he departed radically from conventions of academic writing and chose an alternative and critical path by presenting his thesis in the form of conversation and storying with the inclusion of indigenous ways of being, thinking and doing. The unconventional method was aimed at addressing the nuanced issues of power dynamics and representation. The Razhek conversation method is conceptualized as an informal collective space, allowing diverse voices to converge and collectively amplify their stories of navigating both social and institutional landscapes.

Furthermore, being born and raised in a valley and inspired by the Iranian Sufi poet Fariduddin Attar, Ali chose to structure creatively his thesis as a series of valleys rather than chapters. Each valley represents affective forces emerging from the stories of the inspiring women he had the privilege of researching with. The concept of valley is used to evoke the sense of a journey, with its ups and downs, its challenges and rewards. He chose to use words and concepts from different languages, such as Wakhi, Urdu, and Persian, in his thesis intentionally to disrupt and stretch the boundaries of conventional research practices.

This thesis is at a publication stage and is not available at the moment.

Meet Aziza Soleh, a young entrepreneur from Chipurson, Gojal Hunza, who realized the absence of female entrepreneurs in her region and became an inspiration for young girls in her community. At a young age, Aziza participated in youth camps that motivated her to become an entrepreneur. She continued her journey of learning by completing Google certifications in data analytics, digital and social media marketing.

To help women in isolated parts of Gilgit Baltistan become financially independent, Aziza started Mountain Shop, an e-commerce platform that provides women with a popular online medium to sell their handmade and locally produced goods. Through this platform, she not only encourages women to showcase their skills and talent but also prepares them to contribute to the nation’s economic growth.

Mountain Shop provides digital marketing tools as well as an e-commerce platform, along with counselling sessions to skilled women on how to promote their business locally, nationally and internationally. Aziza's story and Mountain Shop show how entrepreneurship can empower women and communities, even in remote areas with limited resources.

This International Women's Day, let's celebrate women like Aziza who are making a difference in their communities and inspiring the next generation of leaders.

Malika-e-Noor, the Vice-Captain of the Pakistan Women’s National Football Team, is an alumna of the Aga Khan Schools.

Hailing from Hunza, Gilgit-Baltistan, Malika did her primary education from Diamond Jubilee High School, Hussainabad, before moving to Rawalpindi with her family in 2003.

It was in Rawalpindi in 2007 that Malika started playing football. She credits her father with encouraging her and her sisters to play sports. When the Aga Khan Youth and Sports Board set up a camp with the American Embassy, Malika joined along with many other young enthusiasts. The success of that camp can be gauged from the fact that many of its players, along with Malika, made it to the National Camp, and subsequently, to the National Team.

Talented and dedicated to the sport, Malika was soon playing at the national level, and in 2010, she was named the top scorer, an honour that was hers again in 2013. In 2010 and 2011, Malika played internationally for the national side, representing Pakistan in Bangladesh. However, things came to a sad halt for football in Pakistan when FIFA temporarily suspended the Pakistan Football Federation for irregularities.

This was a difficult time for players who were pursuing football professionally against all odds, and many talented players quit the sport altogether. Malika, however, had a firm belief that football would return to the country, and it was in that hope she continued training, playing futsal to keep up her fitness levels.

When football resumed in Pakistan in 2022, just ahead of the South Asian Football Federation Championship, only 5 of the players from the national team were still active players. These players joined a hastily put together team, and with less than a month of training together, they departed for Nepal for the SAFF championship.

While the team and the players had obviously suffered from the absence of regular trainings and games, there was a renewed hunger to prove themselves, Malika said. Because it was only by playing well that the team could convince doubters that football was worth investing in. “We were playing not just for ourselves but also for those who want to play but are unable to,” Malika says, acknowledging the difficulties faced by women in pursuing sports professionally.

A mother of two small children, Malika says that she would not have been able to return to the game if not for the encouragement and support of her mother and mother-in-law who help with childcare, and above all, believe in her passion. As Malika says, “Football is my world. It is my therapy, my happiness.” It is her dream to see more young people take it up, or any other sport. “Even if you don’t play sports professionally, it is a very healthy activity, good for our bodies, our minds, our happiness..
