The capacity of the government and stakeholders is strengthened to assess the progress in implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action, and other global normative and policy frameworks
Before the seizure of state control by the Taliban in mid-August 2021, partnership on embedding systemic normative change on women’s rights and empowerment in Afghanistan continued in earnest. Cooperation between UN Women and the Republic Government during this period included carrying out the review process for Afghan progress made towards adhering to key women’s rights frameworks – such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Beijing Platform for Action, among others.
UN Women was also able to leverage its coordination mandate to facilitate the functioning of platforms advocating for accountability on gender commitments, both within the UN system and with governmental actors. UN Women convened coordination meetings with the Ministry of Women Affairs (MoWA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Afghan Women’s Network, all of which proved to be essential platforms for strategic engagement in the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. However, under the de facto authority, the national-level gender equality architecture in Afghanistan has been dismantled, with the abolishment of the MoWA and the absence of any women in the Taliban’s governing structure. In response, UN Women is strengthening its sub-office structure across five provinces, to bolster monitoring and reporting on women’s rights developments at the provincial level and contribute to wider UN capacity to expand and hold the space carved out in the provinces on women’s rights.
