Today, under Taliban rule, they are practically erased from public life and even banned from singing. These were just some of the chilling observations and testimony from Afghan women, together with supporters from around the world, who convened at UN Headquarters on Monday to discuss inclusion and women\u2019s rights going forward. \u201cNow, more than ever, it&#8217;s crucial to include women in all matters concerning Afghanistan&#8217;s future meaningfully,\u201d said former Afghan diplomat Asila Wardak of the Women\u2019s Forum on Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Stressing that the country\u2019s future \u201ccannot be built on the exclusion of half of the population,\u201d she said that \u201cwomen must be part of the solution, not sidelined.\u201d The meeting was co-hosted by Ireland, Indonesia, Switzerland and Qatar, in partnership with the Women\u2019s Forum on Afghanistan, which works to ensure that Afghan women are included in any dialogue and decision-making at the international level on the future of their country.<\/p>\n<p>It came on the eve of the annual debate in the General Assembly, and UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres took time out of his packed schedule to uphold international solidarity with Afghan women. \u201cWe will continue to amplify the voices of Afghan women and call for them to play a full role in the country\u2019s life, both inside its borders and on the global stage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Guterres vowed that the UN \u201cwill never allow gender-based discrimination to become normalized anywhere in the world,\u201d adding \u201cwhat is happening in Afghanistan can be compared with some of the most egregious systems of oppression in recent history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Taliban have been slashing away at women\u2019s and girls\u2019 rights since returning to power in August 2021. The de facto authorities have issued more than 70 edicts, directives and decrees, including limiting girls to primary-level education, banning women from most professions and prohibiting them from using parks, gyms and other public places.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe meet in perilous times, and it is heart wrenching to be a woman and never as much as now in Afghanistan,\u201d said Margot Wallstr\u00f6m, a former Swedish foreign minister and chair of the Women\u2019s Forum on Afghanistan who served as the moderator. \u201cThe latest Taliban edict wants to silence women, including singing, and make them invisible. Not here at the UN though. Today, we will let their voices and their concerns be heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/09\/1154721\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/09\/1154721\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/afghanistan-no-future-without-womens-participation\/\">Afghanistan: No future without women\u2019s participation<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1045,606,607,608,568],"class_list":["post-133908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-afghanistan","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-women"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133908\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
