This is a thread about why Afghan women should be invited to a meeting the @UN @antonioguterres will host next week about Afghanistan.
The Taliban, after seizing power in Aug 2021, stripped women/girls of most rights. Women fought back. #GenderApartheid

Next week the UN will convene an important meeting to discuss what the international community should do about the crisis in Afghanistan and what the future holds for the country, and for the Taliban. No Afghan women are invited. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
Afghan women have asked urgently to be allowed to attend.
“We have asked for just one hour of this two-day meeting. But we have been told it is not possible.” passblue.com/2023/04/25/dis…

When Afghan women ask to attend this meeting, they aren’t asking a favor. The UN is responsible for implementing Sec Council resolution 1325, which says women must be full participants in discussions about their country’s future. Why isn’t that happening? hrw.org/sites/default/…
