SDSN Afghanistan | Peace Process: Role of Women – Opportunities & Challenges

Описание: Presented by SDSN Afghanistan

Since the collapse of the Taliban in 2002, and as a result of the international community’s presence in Afghanistan, women and girls have played a growing and tangible roles in education, health care, political participation, economic opportunities – narrowing the gender parity in Afghan society. Now, the probable integration of the Taliban within the Afghan political system has raised the fear that peace in Afghanistan may come at the cost of re-marginalizing the women from the social and economic spheres of the Afghan society. For further elaboration of this critical issue, the panellists in the planned Webinar will shed light on the relationship between the SDG5, SDG16, and Happiness in the context of Afghanistan. Further, they will discuss minimizing the risk of the trade-off between SDG16 (Peace) and SDG5 (Gender Equality) from the perspectives of government, human rights, international best practices, and role of international organizations.
