#Snapshot of #SideEvent: “AFGHANISTAN FIVE YEARS ON. Afghan Women Demand #Solidarity in #Action 1. The world must practice what it preaches to the Taliban by #engaging directly #AFGwomen, supporting us, and ensuring our meaningful #participation in all discussions about our #country and our future. Do not speak for us — provide support and #platforms for us to speak for ourselves. 2. Codify #GenderApartheid as a crime against humanity. 3. Provide us with #flexible and adaptable #support to continue our advocacy and sustain our #activism. 4. Support an inclusive #political pathway for Afghanistan, with an end state of an #inclusive government and inclusive governance. Our gratitude to all partners and states who made this important convening possible.

نرگس نهان، وزیر پیشین افغانستان، می‌گوید رعایت حقوق زنان باید شرط تعامل اروپا با طالبان باشد. او تأکید می‌کند که سخت‌گیری در مرزها و توافق با طالبان برای بازگرداندن مهاجران، نمی‌تواند افغان‌ها را به ماندن در کشورشان قانع کند.

⚫️ Five years have passed since the Taliban returned to power. ⚫️ For Afghan women & girls, these five years have meant being denied the opportunity to shape their own lives & futures. ⚫️ Education, employment, healthcare & public life have been increasingly closed off to half the population. Ethnic & religious communities have been targeted, peaceful protesters suppressed, women arrested in Herat for alleged violations of dress-code requirements, & journalists detained. ❌ This cannot become normalized. 🇱🇻 Latvia continues to call on the Taliban to reverse these policies & urges the international community to remain principled, keeping the human rights of the Afghan people, especially women and girls.

نرگس نهان، فعال حقوق زنان و وزیر معادن در حکومت پیشین افغانستان، می‌گوید حکم اخیر دادگاه کیفری بین‌المللی برای بازداشت دو مقام طالبان، نتیجه تلاش‌های خستگی‌ناپذیر زنان و دختران افغان است. او گفت که اجرای آپارتاید جنسیتی علیه زنان و دختران باید برای طالبان پیامدهایی در پی داشته باشد. خانم نهان گفت که دستیابی به عدالت، مسیری دشوار و طولانی است، اما ناممکن نیست. او تأکید کرد که زنان افغان باید به تلاش‌های خود برای تأمین عدالت در افغانستان ادامه دهند. afintl.com/202610063807

THE SYSTEMATIC PERSECUTION OF AFGHAN WOMEN AND GIRLS MUST HAVE CONSEQUENCES FARAGEER welcomes the #International #Criminal #Court’s decision to unseal four arrest @warrants in the Afghanistan situation, concerning senior #Taliban #leaders over alleged crimes against #humanity , including gender and political persecution. The #ICC’s findings are significant: #gender #persecution can include not only direct violence, but also systematic and institutionalised deprivation of fundamental rights and freedoms. For women and girls in Afghanistan, whose education, movement, expression, family life and other fundamental freedoms have been severely restricted, #accountability matters. The international community must now act by supporting the ICC #investigation and upholding the warrants, and ensuring that those accused cannot evade accountability through diplomatic engagement or political expediency. Justice must be pursued and Afghan women must have a central voice in shaping the path toward justice, dignity and an inclusive future.

#Farageer's some members of the Advocacy Committee , participated in #ICAN’s global “#SecurityReimagined” gathering a four-day space bringing together women leaders and #peacebuilders, from different countries affected by conflicts and security tensions to explore how local realities can shape global approaches to peace and security. As part of the gathering, The Sharp Edge of Peace, a documentary on negotiations with the Taliban, was screened, followed by a powerful panel with @nabilamusleh , Wazhma Frogh, @ZarqaYaftali , @alkasadat , and QahramanaKaker. The conversation brought Afghan women’s experiences, agency, and #leadership to the centre of discussions on negotiations and #peacebuilding. Because sustainable peace cannot be built without women shaping the #decisions that determine their future. #SecurityReimagined #ICAN #Afghanistan #AfghanWomen #WomenPeaceAndSecurity #Farageer #Peacebuilding

Heartfelt congratulations to @sbasijrasikh. While the Taliban suppress Afghanistan’s women and the world reduces us to victims, Afghan women continue to shine on global stages, demonstrating another level of resilience, leadership, and power.
Today, @TIME named me as one of the members of the 2026 TIME100 Next, their annual list of 100 individuals who are defining the next generation of leadership: time.com/collection/time100-… I’m proud, I’m humbled – and I know that while this honor is for me, it’s not about me. It’s about the women of Afghanistan and the hope they carry like fire in their hands. It’s about the students of @solaafghanistan, the Afghan girls who will change the world. It’s about the resilient SOLA global village of friends and supporters. It’s about you, reading these words, because you are with us. And that means everything. I hope you’ll take a moment to look over the full list: time.com/collection/time100-…. This is a proud and humbling day, and a day that I know will inspire us all. There is work to do, and we will do it.

We thank #Norway for its continued contribution to humanitarian assistance for #Afghanistan. 🇳🇴 Aid must reach those who need it most—especially #female-#headed households and women facing heightened economic and social vulnerabilities. Humanitarian support must be inclusive, targeted, and reach those most at risk. @NorwayMFA #Afghanistan #AfghanWomen #HumanitarianAid

ریچارد بنت، گزارشگر ویژه سازمان ملل در امور وضعیت حقوق بشر در افغانستان، می‌گوید مجموعه‌ای از اقدامات حقوقی و بین‌المللی نشان می‌دهد که سازوکار بین‌المللی برای پاسخگو کردن طالبان در حال شکل‌گیری است و نقض حقوق بشر در افغانستان دیگر نمی‌تواند به‌سادگی در مذاکرات سیاسی نادیده گرفته شود. بنت در نشست حاشیه‌ای مجمع عمومی سازمان ملل گفت که وضعیت زنان و دختران در افغانستان را می‌توان «آپارتاید جنسیتی» توصیف کرد. afintl.com/202609257897
