The international community has resumed dialogue with the Taliban in Doha, marking a controversial move as Afghan women were notably excluded from the discussions.
This series of meetings, known as Doha I, II, and now III, has evolved since May 2023, with varying levels of Taliban participation. The latest meeting, Doha III, has drawn criticism for potentially legitimizing the oppression of Afghan women by not including them in the talks.
The United Nations' compliance with the Taliban's demands, including the exclusion of Afghan women from the dialogue, has sparked further controversy and raised questions about the international community's commitment to human rights and gender equality in Afghanistan.

I can't believe the international community is engaging with the Taliban in Doha without including Afghan women in the discussions. It's a slap in the face to the values of human rights and gender equality we're supposed to stand for. By not having women at the table, it feels like we're taking a massive step back and legitimizing the Taliban's oppressive policies. The UN's role in complying with these exclusions just adds to the disappointment. We should be using these talks as an opportunity to push for inclusive governance in Afghanistan, not sidelining half the population.

It's incredibly frustrating to see the international community engaging with the Taliban without including Afghan women in the conversation. By excluding women, who are significantly impacted by the Taliban's policies, it feels like a step backward for gender equality and human rights. We need to demand better and ensure that Afghan women have a seat at the table in any discussions that will affect their futures.
