“Many observers fear, that the Afghan government, desperate for an agreement with the Taliban, will compromise on the issue of women’s rights in the upcoming peace Jirga, and women will be a pawn in the negotiations, and lose ground for with they have fought hard”—cover page.
Summary: “In late May 2010, the Afghan government will convene a Peace Jirga in Kabul to determine a national reintegration and reconciliation strategy. Afghan women have played a variety of social and political roles during the last three decades of conflict, including as peacebuilders, but now risk of being excluded from current peacebuilding processes. In alliance with international agreements—most notably United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325—the Afghan government must make sure that sure that woman are actively engaged in the upcoming jirga and are included in other reintegration and reconciliation policies. The inclusion of women is central to sustainable peace and security in Afghanistan.” (Summary, p. 1).
