Rina Amiri, the US special representative for women's affairs and human rights in Afghanistan, in response to the criticism of the absence of women in the third Doha meeting, said that without the presence of women in discussions related to the future of Afghanistan, there is no solution to the challenges of this country. Mrs. Amiri raised this issue in a message on the occasion of International Women's Day in Diplomacy on her X account. She added: "There is no solution to the challenges of peace, security and stability in Afghanistan without the [presence] of Afghan women in discussions about the future of this country." She emphasized that women and girls have played an important role throughout the history of Afghanistan. The US special representative for women and human rights in Afghanistan emphasizes the presence of women in discussions about the future of Afghanistan, while women have been excluded from the meeting that will be held in Doha next week. Officials of human rights institutions, special representatives of the United States, including Reina Amiri herself, have not yet commented on the exclusion of women and representatives of civil society from the Doha meeting, which is facing widespread criticism. It is worth mentioning that the third meeting of the special representatives of the countries on Afghanistan affairs is scheduled to be held on Sunday and Monday next week, hosted by the United Nations in Doha. In this meeting, only the caretaker government has been invited from Afghanistan. The current government delegation led by Zabihullah Mujahid, the government spokesman, is supposed to participate in the Doha meeting.

The media under the control of the caretaker government of Afghanistan have reported that seven members of a family, including women and children, died as a result of a mountain slide in Jani Khel district of Paktia. National Radio and Television of Afghanistan has reported that this untimely event happened yesterday (Sunday, 3rd of Cancer) in Jan Khel district of Paktia province. According to the report of the National Radio and Television of Afghanistan, the victims of the event include two women and five children. The report did not provide details about the identity of the victims and their age. Still, the report did not give details about the gender of the children. It should be said that similar incidents this year have claimed the lives of several people and caused financial losses. Also, other natural disasters such as rain and flood have also left heavy casualties this spring.

Fawzia Koofi, a former member of the House of Representatives of the former government of Afghanistan and the head of the Moj Tafalgh party, reacted to the third Doha meeting and said that the exclusion of women, civil institutions and democratic forces is another failure for the United Nations, which now considers itself the only actor in Afghanistan. Ms. Koofi posted a message on her X user account and wrote that the design of the Doha meeting is against the will of the caretaker government of Afghanistan and is in conflict with Security Council Resolution 2721. She emphasized that the withdrawal of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan from the first Doha process led to a profound failure, which led to the collapse of all the institutions that were built with the blood and collective capital of the Afghan people and their international partners. She, who was a member of the negotiating team between the former government of Afghanistan and the current government, also warned about the unfortunate consequences of the third Doha meeting. Also, human rights and women's rights activists say that the United Nations has excluded women and democratic forces against the current government from the third meeting in Doha. Before this, the current government had set conditions for participating in the third Doha meeting. Determining the desired agenda of the current government, handing over Afghanistan's seat in the United Nations to the caretaker government and not inviting members of the civil society were among the government's conditions for participating in the third Doha meeting. Also, the current government has asked the United Nations to desist from appointing a new special representative for Afghanistan. Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson of the current government, announced today (Sunday, 28th of Gemini) that government representatives will participate in the third Doha meeting on Afghanistan. Mr. Mujahid said that "after reviewing the agenda of the third Doha meeting, he decided to participate in this meeting" because he considers it "for the benefit of Afghanistan". The third meeting of Doha hosted by the United Nations and with the presence of special representatives of countries in Afghanistan affairs is scheduled to be held on 10th and 11th of January.

The United Nations Development Program has announced that it will support women's entrepreneurship and business expansion, creating jobs for internally displaced persons and returnees across Afghanistan. By publishing a report of a business woman who recently returned from Iran, this organization said that Afghanistan is experiencing the biggest and longest migration crisis in the world. The United Nations Development Program emphasized that in partnership with the World Bank, the European Union and the Asian Development Bank, it has conducted a post-disaster needs assessment in Herat earthquakes and supported the community against resilience. It is stated in the report that it has supported the business of 237 women in Herat. According to this report, the United Nations Development Program has supported 470 informal businesses led by women in the priority areas of return and reintegration in Herat province through grants. It is also stated in a part of this report that after the rule of the caretaker government, more than 1.6 million Afghans migrated to neighboring countries, most of them illegally crossing the borders. The United Nations Development Program has previously announced the support of small and medium-sized businesses led by women. It should be said that the caretaker government has prohibited the work of women in various institutions. This United Nations organization is trying to provide women and girls with work in this way. According to UN statistics, the ban on women's work damages the Afghan economy from six million to one billion dollars a year.

UNICEF or the United Nations Children's Fund has warned about the impact of climate change on the food security of children in Afghanistan. The organization estimates that currently more than 875,000 children under the age of five in Afghanistan suffer from acute and fatal malnutrition in Afghanistan. UNICEF has published a report saying that the torrential rains in April this year caused the residents of the flooded areas to lose everything. The United Nations Children's Fund emphasized that the lack of food and clean drinking water are among the things that make children sick, and most of them do not have access to medical centers. According to information from international organizations, Afghanistan is the seventh most vulnerable country to the effects of climate change, while this country has one of the lowest levels of pollution in the world. The United Nations says that in a situation where 80% of Afghanistan's population depends on agriculture, frequent natural disasters have a direct impact on the nutrition of families, especially in rural areas. In its report, UNICEF says that devastating flash floods after the earthquake and droughts of the last few years have threatened food security in Afghanistan by destroying food sources. According to UNICEF, more than 7,500 houses have been destroyed and 5,000 families have been displaced due to sudden floods in the western and northern provinces of Afghanistan in the past few weeks. Also, according to the report of this child protection organization, the recent floods in Baghlan have destroyed three thousand houses and left 220 injured and 150 dead.

The Secretary General of Amnesty International has reacted to the third Doha meeting and says that the Doha meeting has no validity without the participation of human rights defenders, women and regardless of human rights issues. Agnes Kalamar, Secretary General of Amnesty International, published a message in a message saying that the rights of Afghan women and girls are not negotiable and they should be at the center of the United Nations meeting in Doha. Mrs. Kalamar emphasized in her message that if the human rights crisis in Afghanistan is not properly investigated and women's rights defenders and other relevant stakeholders from the Afghan civil society do not participate, the credibility of the meeting will be in danger. He added that abandoning fundamental discussions about human rights is unacceptable. He said that surrendering to the conditions of the caretaker government to guarantee their participation in the Doha meeting brings the risk of legitimizing the repression system; A system that brutally excluded all women from the society and destroyed their fundamental rights. It should be said that the Doha meeting is scheduled to be held on June 30 and July 1 hosted by the United Nations in Qatar. Also, the caretaker government officials expressed their readiness to participate in the Doha meeting after long talks with the UN representatives. The UN Secretary General's representative had said that the new format was the only way forward. According to him, this is not the last Doha meeting and the process of talks will continue.

In the latest case, the United Nations has published a report stating that women journalists in Afghanistan are facing severe restrictions since the current government took over the country. The United Nations has stated that the basic rights and freedoms of women and girls in Afghanistan are still severely limited. The United Nations report on Afghanistan states that on March 20 of this year, with the start of the new school year in the country, girls above the sixth grade were still banned and could not go to school this year. The United Nations emphasized that in the ceremony to start the new school year in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Education of the current government, in its invitation to the media for media coverage of the program, ordered female journalists not to participate in the program due to "lack of suitable place". The organization said that women journalists in Afghanistan face severe restrictions and their basic freedoms, including access to information and freedom of movement, are severely restricted. The United Nations says that journalists and media workers are being arbitrarily detained, and the broadcasts of two television channels have also been suspended. Also, in another part of this report, it is stated that the officials and soldiers of the previous government of Afghanistan are still threatened by the current government, which includes arbitrary arrests, torture, ill-treatment and execution. The United Nations report on Afghanistan states that in February of this year, the current government executed three people publicly and said that these executions were carried out by three high courts and with the approval of the leader of the caretaker government. It should be noted that while this report is being presented at the UN Security Council meeting, the third UN meeting on Afghanistan will be held in Doha, the capital of Qatar, in two weeks. It is said that representatives of Afghan women and civil society were not invited to the third Doha meeting.

Nasir Ahmad Faiq, head of Afghanistan's delegation to the United Nations, reacted to the third Doha meeting and called the absence of civil society representatives and Afghan women and girls disappointing. In his speech at the UN Security Council, Mr. Faiq said that it is disappointing that the political process and human rights are not included in the agenda of the third Doha meeting as two important issues in their discussions, and representatives of civil society and women will not be present at the discussion table. had He stressed that this is seen as a departure from essential issues and international obligations, including Security Council resolutions. He further added that this issue as another setback indicates normalization without any noticeable changes in Afghanistan. The Head of Afghanistan's Mission to the United Nations says: "We reiterate that any discussion about the future of the Afghan people without addressing the main issues and concerns, including national legitimacy, Islamic and fundamental rights of all citizens, including women, girls and minority groups, and "Security threats such as extremism, terrorism and drugs that have contributed to the current stalemate will not achieve tangible results." It should be said that the third meeting of the special representatives of the countries in the affairs of Afghanistan, hosted by the United Nations, is scheduled to be held on the 10th and 11th of the month of Cancer in Doha, Qatar. According to reports, the subject of the official meetings in Doha are economic issues and the fight against drugs. Human rights and women's organizations emphasize women's participation and say that the main focus of the meeting should be women's rights. Faiq has also emphasized to ensure that Afghan women participate in all political discussions, including the Doha process. He said: "We should not ignore the legitimate demands of the Afghan people, especially Afghan women and girls, and normalize the gender apartheid regime in Afghanistan." He also emphasized in a part of his speech that the people of Afghanistan are tired of conflict and war and long for lasting peace, security and prosperity. This is only possible through a legitimate, accountable and comprehensive governance system based on the rule of law, justice and the will of the people and the protection of the basic rights and freedoms of all citizens and Afghanistan's international obligations.

The United Nations has published a new study on the impact of banning the work of Afghan women in 127 non-governmental organizations and United Nations agencies in 34 provinces. The findings of this survey show that now 18% of female employees of foreign institutions work from their homes. The Working Group on Gender in Humanitarian Action and the Humanitarian Access Group published the results of the seventh round of their survey aimed at investigating the operational trends after the order banning women from working in international institutions. The report found that 18 percent of female employees in surveyed organizations now work from home, a 6 percent decrease from the previous report in September. It is also stated in the section of the report that 45% of the respondents said that they work with women and men to some extent; While 27% work entirely with men and women. It is further stated that women's access to work and assistance is still affected by several obstacles imposed by various ministries of the current government. 60% of the respondents said that they face problems in registering new projects with awareness raising components, which are of particular importance to reach women and girls. Half of the responding organizations have problems registering projects related to female employees. The gender working group in humanitarian action and the humanitarian access group have said in this report that the "dress code" for women by the current government has also affected the work process of various institutions in Afghanistan. 60% of organizations reported to this organization that female employees censor their movements due to the fear of being caught. The evaluation of these institutions shows that various obstacles from the current government have affected the meaningful participation of women, both as employees and as recipients of aid. Also, 66% of the respondents said that more than ever, working from home has affected the ability of their female employees to interact with other team members. Meanwhile, the current government banned women's work in international institutions on December 24, 2022. Before this, various international institutions have warned that banning women from working in these institutions has affected the process of providing aid, especially for women and girls.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recently announced that six athletes from Afghanistan, including three women and three men, will participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Mark Adams, the spokesperson of the International Olympic Committee, raised this issue in a press conference and said that the male athletes of Afghanistan will compete in the disciplines of shower, swimming and judo. Mark Adams says that Afghan female athletes will participate in running and cycling. He added that the formation of the gender-based team is a message to the caretaker government, which has limited the access of Afghan women and girls to sports. "We made it clear that we wanted a gender-equal team and that's what we got," he stressed. Adams says that none of the current government officials will be allowed to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The spokesperson of the International Olympic Committee said: "There will be no place for the current government officials in Paris itself. "No representative of the Afghan government will be eligible for the 2024 Olympic Games." This is despite the fact that the International Olympic Committee had previously announced that it is negotiating with the National Olympic Committee of Afghanistan and also with the sports authorities with the aim of removing the current restrictions on the access of women and young girls to sports in the country. It should be said that the 2024 Olympics will be held from 26 July to 11 August (5 to 21 August) and the 2024 Paris Paralympics will be held from 28 August to 8 September (7 to 18 August) in Paris, the capital of France.
