The Role of Women in the New Constitution Adopted in 2004 recognizes the Importance of the Status of Women and Their Fundamental Rights, while during the Taliban regime in 1996-2001, women were completely isolated and deprived of their rights. The role of women as the main victims of war and violence in Afghanistan in peace talks is not as noticeable as expected and women are symbolically present in the process. Therefore, the legitimacy of the peace talks as a national and inclusive process is questionable, and the Afghan government has not paid attention to this important issue due to the criticism and pressure of women's advocacy. Women's concerns in the Intra-Afghan peace talks following the Doha peace agreement between the United States and the Taliban in 2020 are more focused on their fundamental rights and the achievements of the past 20 years in which women's freedoms have been partially recognized. They fear that in a patriarchal deal all their rights and freedoms may not be curtailed again, as was the case during the Taliban regime. The presence of women, regardless of the specific mechanism of the peace talks, is another issue that has provoked strong criticism from the international community and women's rights activists against the Afghan government. In a democratic society, the role of women in all national processes must be considered equally and the inclusion of victims of war and violence must be taken into account.

Keywords: Women’s Rights, Afghanistan’s Peace Talks, Freedom, Violence, Women’s Presence in Intra-Afghan Peace Talks.
