Women\u2019s rights activists are urging the United Nations to ensure its proposed roadmap for Afghanistan leads to an inclusive political structure that incorporates non-Taliban figures, especially women, in leadership roles, Afghan news outlet Amu reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UN\u2019s initiative, part of ongoing consultations in the Doha process, seeks to establish a path for Afghanistan\u2019s reintegration into the international community. Central to this effort is the formation of an inclusive government, along with commitments to human rights and counterterrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the Taliban remain resistant to power-sharing, women\u2019s rights defenders insist any future framework must guarantee women\u2019s participation and protections from gender-based violence, including forced and child marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UN\u2019s \u201cmosaic framework\u201d identifies inclusive governance as one of six key priorities. However, civil society groups remain skeptical, criticizing the lack of transparency and public involvement. The Independent Coalition of Afghan Women\u2019s Protest Movements warned the process risks repeating the shortcomings of the 2020 Doha talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Taliban have outlined demands, including lifting sanctions, restoring diplomatic ties, and unfreezing assets. With political dissent suppressed and public engagement limited, many remain doubtful that the roadmap will lead to genuine reform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
