A top UN official believes progress is being made towards reversing bans on women taking part in public life in Afghanistan. It comes as a delegation led by Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed has ended a four-day visit, meeting with senior Taliban officials in Kabul to discuss aid programmes and the participation of women. But the country is also facing an economic crisis. The death toll in Afghanistan from an unprecedented cold wave has risen to 78 as temperatures in many parts of the country fell to -30 °C. Snowstorms have forced the closure of many key highways and roads, hampering the delivery of aid. Please subscribe HERE 🤍 #Afghanistan #UN #BBCNews

The fifth International Day of Education is celebrated under the theme “to invest in people, prioritize education”. UNESCO is dedicating this year's International Day to girls and women in Afghanistan who have been deprived of their right to education. Speaking to journalists in New York today (24 Jan), Stefania Giannini, Assistant Director General for Education of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said, “Currently, all Afghan girls and women above the age of 12 are denied access to secondary schools and, more recently, to universities following the decisions of the de facto authorities.” Giannini added, “A basic human right is at risk and adjust the listening to the voices of these girls and women.” She repeated the message coming from Afghan young women “please work on the ground, work for people there, especially women and girls and weak people there.” According to Giannini, “With higher education, we have to think and move more creatively and also involve the international community.” She also said about an alliance of universities as a collective afford to host Afghan girls and women in the coming months. Asked about other solutions, Giannini said, “I mentioned the radio channel as the most effective tool to reach out from Kabul, at least because as far as you know, connectivity is not a common good for all the rural zones.” She continued, “I think that courses, lessons in classrooms online cannot be a solution for the entire country.” Credit UN Photo/Loey Felipe

In Afghanistan, girls over 12 years old are not going to school. In March last year, the Taliban had promised to re-open some high schools for girls but then cancelled the move on the day they were due to return. The Taliban government says the ban is temporary. But despite the risk, a few secret schools are still open. Meanwhile at least 124 people have died in freezing temperatures in the past fortnight. Please subscribe HERE 🤍 #BBCNews

The Taliban have banned women from attending universities in Afghanistan with immediate effect. The ban further excludes women’s access to education in the country - girls have been excluded from secondary school education since the Taliban returned last year. Some women protested against the decision on Wednesday, but demonstrations were quickly shut down by government officials. Last month, women were also barred from parks, gyms and swimming pools in the capital Kabul. Please subscribe HERE 🤍 #Afghanistan #BBCNews
The Taliban’s renewed hold on power has brought Afghan women back into the media spotlight. But how they are portrayed there often highlights only one side of their personalities. Join Sveto as she brings out untold truths about this remarkable, strong-willed community, and reflects on her own experiences as a trailblazing Afghan woman. Sveto Muhammad Ishoq is an Afghan women’s rights activist, public speaker and Afghanistan’s first Schwarzman Scholar. Sveto authored her first publications on women’s rights in Afghanistan aged 14, marking the start of her activism. In 2018, she founded a social enterprise, Ayat, to empower illiterate Afghan women to gain financial independence through fashion. Living in 6 different countries and witnessing the negative assumptions about life in Afghanistan inspired Sveto to create a storytelling platform, Chadari, which has gathered 57 volunteers inspired by its mission. The Chadari Project gives Afghan women the opportunity to express their opinions, talk about their achievements, share stories of bravery, and show the world that Afghanistan is much more than what is seen in the media. Sveto proudly represents Afghanistan on national and international platforms, including the British Red Cross, UN Women, UNDPPA, UNHCR UK, and SCO, and promotes the unheard experiences of Afghan women. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at 🤍

Afghanistan is the world's only country, where girls are forbidden from attending a secondary school or university, solely because of their gender. But Afghan women are refusing to be silenced, despite mounting repression and aggression from the ruling Taliban. Defying the ban has its consequences: A private education center in Kabul was blown up last week. The UN says over 50 people were killed, mainly girls and young women. The female demonstrators taking to the streets over the bombing were also attacked. We spoke to a former employee of the Afghan postal service, who also worked for a non-profit group. But since the Taliban came to power, Dunya can no longer do either. She survived a terror attack two years ago, sustaining minor injuries - and says it feels like she's under constant surveillance from the Taliban, wherever she goes. #Afghanistan #Women #Taliban Subscribe: 🤍 For more news go to: 🤍 Follow DW on social media: ►Facebook: 🤍 ►Twitter: 🤍 ►Instagram: 🤍 ►Twitch: 🤍 Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: 🤍

Established by the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Foundation, the Shapiro Professorship in International Affairs seeks to appoint distinguished figures in diplomacy whose experiences and reputations bring an added measure of excellence to teaching and scholarship within the Elliott School. This lecture was hosted at the Elliott School on January 25, 2023. Afghan women's rights have been at the heart of Afghanistan's internationally sponsored development agenda for the past two decades. But today, more than ever, these rights seem far-reaching and unattainable. One contributing factor to the fragility of these gains has been the problematic western approach to this agenda, underlined by misconceptions and contradictions. These misconceptions have undermined Afghan women's political agency and reduced them to victims at the mercy of foreign donors. It has also branded the agenda of women's rights as "foreign" rather than a continuation of a long indigenous battle for emancipation. As the Taliban continues to tighten its grip on power and limit the rights of women, such mischaracterizations of the women of Afghanistan and their gains and achievements in the last two decades continue to be counterproductive. ABOUT MUQADDESA YOURISH A former government executive in Afghanistan, Muqaddesa Yourish is currently the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Visiting Professor of International Affairs. Ms. Yourish fled Afghanistan with her family in response to the Taliban regaining control of the government in August 2021. She has held several government posts, including former deputy minister for commerce and industry of Afghanistan, commissioner for the civil service commission of Afghanistan, and the director of human resources for Kabul Municipality. A thought leader/community leader, and award winner, Ms. Yourish is a frequent commentator for her country’s political scene and is a strong voice for young citizens of her generation and Afghan women.
1 year ago, the Taliban took control of Afghanistan. Every day since, life has become harder for Afghan women and girls as their rights and freedoms have been rolled back and their voices have been silenced. These audio recordings shared with UN Women by Afghan women inside the country and out illustrate the harsh realities of the new situation they face. Their names have been changed to ensure their safety. UN Women has been in Afghanistan for the last 10 years & continues to stay and deliver for Afghan women & girls in the midst of the world's gravest women’s rights crisis. Every day, we are advocating for restoring, protecting and promoting the full spectrum of women and girls’ rights and creating spaces for Afghan women themselves to advocate for their right to live free and equal lives.

Afghan women had been a great story of success. They have been a part of the Socioeconomic growth in the country over the past 20 years. Seeing the gains being raised and liberty being taken away from them is really tragic. There has been some encouraging news since yesterday at Taliban that they are now loving Afghan women. work back in NGOs which is a very positive devolvement.

Informal comments to the media by Fawzia Koofi - former Republic Peace Negotiator and first woman Deputy Speaker of Parliament; Naheed Fareed, former Afghan Parliamentarian and Chairperson of House Standing Committee for Human Rights, Civil Society and Women Affairs; Asila Wardak, former Diplomat; and Anisa Shaheed, Journalist on the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan. Former Afghan women politicians asked the international community on Thursday to pressure the Taliban “to put their words in action” and fulfill their promises made in 2019 in Qatar including girls’ education and women’s rights. Supported by the UK Mission to the UN and UN Women, in the context of the Security Council’s Open Debate on Women, Peace and Security, the former Afghan women leaders address the reporters at the Security Council stakeout in New York. “The reason we are here today is to meet with different member states and ask them to regard women and human rights in Afghanistan as a matter of national security of their own countries, because it's not just a political or social issue but it's a matter of security,” said Fawzia Koofi, former Peace Negotiator and first woman Deputy Speaker of Afghan Parliament, adding that “at this stage, there is no reliable government in Afghanistan to “accommodate diversity and inclusion of everyone, including women, that can be a trustable partner to the world.” Koofi also said the world could have avoided “the catastrophic situation that we face now,” if it had better managed the Afghan peace process or the withdrawal of US forces. “Afghanistan, we all failed it. Moving forward if we abandon it and if we abandon the people of Afghanistan, the consequences are going to be huge not only on the people of Afghanistan but on the rest of the world,” Koofi said. Asked by reporters should the Taliban get the seat at the United Nations,a former Afghan Parliamentarian and Chairperson of House Standing Committee for Human Rights, Civil Society and Women Affairs Naheed Fareed said “I don't know if world want to register in the history that they want to give seat to such kind of government” that from her point of view does not represents “Afghan people, Afghan women their dignity, their desires.” To the same point, Asila Wardak, aformer Afghan Diplomat said “I just would like to ask United Nations and also all member states to engage with Taliban. They are now there; they are in power; they have to work with them.” However, Wardak said that if the UN is “going to give them seat at least there should be conditions,” including girls’ education and women’s rights. “This is the time for the international community, if they really think that they are our allies and they are our strategic partners, they have to pressurize the Taliban to put their words in action,” Wardak said.
At least 124 people have died in freezing temperatures in Afghanistan in the past fortnight, Taliban officials say. About 70,000 livestock had also perished in what is the coldest winter in a decade, a State Ministry for Disaster Management spokesman said. Many aid agencies suspended operations in recent weeks after the Taliban banned Afghan women from working for non-governmental organisations. A Taliban minister said despite the deaths, the edict would not be changed. Please subscribe HERE 🤍 #Afghanistan #BBCNews
