The Taliban government, under scrutiny for its stringent regulations on women since taking control in 2021, described by the U.N. as "gender apartheid", will dispatch its inaugural delegation to the third session of negotiations commencing in Qatar on June 30.
Taliban Stance on Afghan Women's Rights
On June 29, Taliban officials asserted that the issue of women's rights should be addressed internally within Afghanistan, as preparations for the United Nations-led discussions stirred controversy due to the exclusion of Afghan women.
Inclusion of Civil Society and Rights Groups
Scheduled immediately after the official talks, civil society representatives, including advocates from women's rights organizations, are set to engage with international diplomats and U.N. representatives on July 2.
Criticism and Advocacy
Criticism has mounted over the sidelining of Afghan women from the primary negotiations and the absence of human rights as a central agenda item. Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Taliban government, acknowledged the concerns regarding women's rights during a press briefing in Kabul ahead of the talks."While we recognize the significance of women's issues, these are matters that Afghanistan must resolve internally," Mujahid affirmed, as he prepared to lead the Taliban delegation.
Commitment to Stability
"We are dedicated to charting a viable path towards solutions within Afghanistan, aiming to prevent any resurgence of conflict and discord," Mujahid emphasized.
