“No one has suffered more at the hands of the Taliban than the women of Afghanistan.' That's why MelanneVerveer is calling for women's to be part of U.S. peace talks in the region:
News of negotiations between the United States and the Taliban and the prospect of impending intra-Afghan talks have given hope to the Afghan people that years of war and unspeakable suffering may finally be coming to an end. Americans, too, are war-weary and want to see an end to what has become America’s longest war.
The talks with the Taliban, and the decision by the Trump administration to maintain a presence of just 8,600 troops, however, have also sparked enormous fear among Afghans—especially among Afghan women., they worry that an agreement reached with the Taliban—without women’s participation in the negotiations—could put their hard-won gains on the chopping block.
