The Enlightenment Movement or Junbesh-e Roshnayi (Dari: جنبش روشنایی)^[1] is a grassroots civil disobedience movement of Hazaras created in 2016 in Afghanistan in response to the Afghan government's change in routing plans for proposed international electricity networking, which was perceived as continuing historical anti-Hazara discrimination. The group organised major protests in Afghanistan and internationally during 2016 and 2017,^[2] protesting against discrimination. The group's youthful leadership challenged traditional Hazara leaders for representativity of the community.^[3][1][4]
