Which experts should we be listening to in the increasingly heated debate about whether the Taliban should be recognized? #GenderApartheid (spoiler: how about we listen to the Afghan women who are risking their lives to protest for their rights)
Should we listen to men writing for think tanks on the other side of the world?
Should we listen to diplomats and politicians from the tiny handful of countries that recognized the Taliban the last time they were in power?
Should we listen to comments from a UN official that a spokesperson has tried to walk back?
Or should we listen—every day, all the time, on this issue & all others—to the women who have risked everything & suffered enormously to fight for the rights everyone has—to study & work, to eat, to live free from violence, to walk freely down the street? hrw.org/news/2022/10/2…
They’re the true experts, have the personal stake, & a UNSC res requires “equal & full participation” of women in “prevention/resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peace-building, peacekeeping, humanitarian response & post-conflict reconstruction.” hrw.org/sites/default/…
