Afghanistan is one of only seven countries in the world that does not have any women in its cabinet, according to a statement by the United Nations marking International Women’s Day in Diplomacy. Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in positions of power and diplomacy globally, with 113 countries never having had a woman serve as Head of State or Government.<\/h6>\n

Women’s Underrepresentation in Leadership<\/p>\n

Only 26 countries are led by a woman as of 2024<\/p>\n

Women hold 25% of Permanent Representative posts at the UN in New York, 35% in Geneva, and 33.5% in Vienna<\/p>\n

In 141 countries, women make up less than a third of Cabinet ministers<\/p>\n

Impact on Afghanistan<\/h5>\n

Kabul 24<\/strong><\/a>: Afghanistan is experiencing one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises, with millions on the threshold of starvation<\/p>\n

The Taliban’s edict barring women from working for NGOs is jeopardizing humanitarian efforts to reach over 28 million Afghans dependent on aid<\/p>\n

Excluding women from education and crucial sectors will severely inhibit Afghanistan’s economic recovery<\/p>\n

Calls for Change<\/h5>\n

The UN Women Executive Director calls for putting women first in leadership positions to tackle global challenges<\/p>\n

The G7 has asked the UN that civil society and women be part of the upcoming Doha<\/a> talks on Afghanistan<\/p>\n

The European Union’s charge d’affaires in Afghanistan praises the resistance, courage and hope of Afghan women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
