UN: Stop Excluding Afghan Women!

To the UN Secretary-General and world leaders :

We stand with the brave women of Afghanistan who are fighting back against their exclusion from crucial talks about the future of their country to appease the Taliban. We call on you to ensure their full and meaningful participation and that the UN ends this shameful exclusion. Special envoys should boycott these talks until this happens.

UN: Stop Excluding Afghan Women!
Since taking power, the Taliban have done everything they can to undermine and disempower women: girls aren’t allowed to go to school and women aren’t allowed to work. They even use rape and torture to silence women’s rights defenders.

Experts call it gender apartheid – and the UN just caved to the Taliban’s demands and kept Afghan women out of crucial talks about the future of their country.

But brave Afghan women are fighting back! They’ve just launched a call to boycott these talks until they’re fully included and our global outcry can ensure they’re heard. The UN is taking stock of these talks and planning the next ones right now. Add your name now and share it to make it massive – Avaaz will take our call directly to the UN Secretary-General.
