Women's Triangle, Peace and Security in Afghanistan from the Perspective of the United Nations Security Council

Abstract

Undoubtedly, one of the conditions for the realization of peace is the participation of all strata and social and political groups. Therefore, the widespread process of peace requires attendance. The obstacles on this path indicate that we need to know more about why and how women participate in the peace process. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to the participation of women as one of the groups most affected by war and violence. The challenges women face in the peace process are, in most cases, gendered factors. In this regard, the present study seeks to examine the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on women's participation in the process of peace building in Afghanistan, using a descriptive-analytical method. The results of the study indicate that the Afghan National Action Plan is slowing down with regard to Security Council resolution 1325. This is largely due to the growing conservative position of the government on the role of women and the controversial views of the peace process, on the participation of women in the peace process and the international institutions that provide funding to the Afghan National Action Plan. Women's participation in the peace process in Afghanistan is faced with serious doubts.
