US envoy says she held talks with American officials on supporting Afghan women

Karen Decker, the Chargé d’Affaires at the US Mission to Afghanistan, says several high-ranking US diplomats have assured her of the support of Afghan women and their efforts to help Afghans.

Decker said she held talks with top US officials, the Deputy Secretary of State, and Rina Amiri, special envoy for Afghan women, over the situation of Afghan women and girls, to strengthen human rights and to help Afghans.

She said these senior American diplomats said they will continue efforts to support Afghan women.

“I look forward to pursuing fruitful work with Deputy Secretary of State John Mark to protect America’s national security interests, support Afghan women and girls, promote the human rights of all Afghans, and assist the Afghan people against a serious humanitarian crisis to continue my efforts,” said Decker.

Meanwhile, a number of women’s rights activists have said that America should take effective steps to ensure women’s rights in Afghanistan and discuss the issue with the Islamic Emirate.

Some experts, however, have stated that the efforts of the international community to convince the Afghan rulers to accept the fundamental rights of women in Afghanistan have been unsuccessful so far because the world does not have a clear mechanism for a permanent solution

to this problem.

One of the controversial issues between the IEA and the international community is the matter of women’s rights.

However, the IEA has said it cannot accept the Western definition of women’s rights and have repeatedly said women’s rights are ensured in accordance with Sharia.

Zalmay Khalilzad, the former US special representative for Afghanistan, has questioned Pakistan’s commitment to the welfare of the Afghan people, citing Islamabad’s policies over the past three decades.

Khalilzad said in a post on X that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif advocated for the rights of Afghan women during his speech at the UN General Assembly on Friday.

Sharif said: “Fundamental rights of the Afghan people — especially women and girls — must be respected.”

Responding to the remarks, Khalilzad said Pakistan’s policies over the past 30 years raise questions about Sharif’s commitment to Afghan welfare.

He cited Pakistan’s support for militant groups against US forces and what he described as the poor treatment of Afghan refugees as examples.

Khalilzad also said Afghanistan and Pakistan need and should have much better relations, adding that “a reset is necessary.”

Speaking during the general debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Friday, Tileuberdi said humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan remains essential but alone cannot break the cycle of poverty, displacement and dependency.

He said Kazakhstan supports a “pragmatic, coordinated and step-by-step” approach to international engagement with Afghanistan, with the United Nations playing a central role.

Tileuberdi also said Kazakhstan is working with the UN to operationalize the United Nations Regional Centre for the Sustainable Development Goals for Central Asia and Afghanistan in Almaty.

He said the success of the centre should be measured by the results and assistance it delivers to the region.
