Include Afghan Women at the Negotiation Table

We ask that in the forthcoming negotiations Afghan women be included in the peace process. Let's hear women's voices speak for themselves at the negotiation table.

These negotiations will have profound implications for both women and men in the coming years, not only in Afghanistan itself, but in the whole region. Women's participation in the peace process will help decrease their vulnerability and invisibility. We all know that Afghan women have been the true martyrs of the Taliban years. May they have not suffered in vain!

With great courage and abnegation, Afghan women have repeatedly stepped out of their socially ascribed roles to respond to the Taliban tragedy.

It is time Afghan women become full players in the redevelopment of their country.

Let's correct the Talibans' horrors inflicted upon Afghan women. Let's make sure Afghan women sit at the negotiation table as equals. Thank you for helping make the world a better and safer place for women.
