Women's Hope Window Movement Calls UNAMA's Comprehensive Plan "Legitimizing Terrorism and Betraying Justice"

Sent to Zan TV

The Women's Hope Window Movement, in a statement, strongly condemned the plan known as "Mosaic" or "UNAMA's Comprehensive Approach," describing it as a "dangerous, deceptive, and a violation of fundamental human rights."

In a statement released on Wednesday (May 14), the movement emphasized that this plan not only fails to reflect the will and desires of the Afghan people but is an attempt to legitimize the Taliban as a legal government. The movement warned that UNAMA's approach is essentially "cleansing terrorism, promoting gender discrimination, and betraying global justice."

The Women's Hope Window Movement described the "Mosaic" plan as not a reflection of the people's voice but a symbol of power monopoly. The movement warned that UNAMA's comprehensive approach ignores the voices of protesting women and civil society groups and instead introduces the Taliban as a negotiation partner without any human rights preconditions.

The statement reads: "With this plan, UNAMA introduces the Taliban as a negotiation partner without any human rights preconditions. While Afghan women are deprived of their most basic human rights, UNAMA seeks 'constructive engagement' with a government that criminalizes women's education, work, and freedom of movement."

The statement also added that this approach practically sends the message that gender apartheid is acceptable and that by remaining silent against the structural oppression of women, UNAMA is announcing to the world that gender discrimination can be institutionalized while still gaining international legitimacy. The movement warned that UNAMA's approach is not only a betrayal of the Afghan people but also a threat to regional and international security.

The Women's Hope Window Movement, in its statement, called for the immediate cancellation of the Mosaic plan and the initiation of a genuine comprehensive process with the participation of independent women representatives, civil activists, war victims, and democratic institutions. The movement also stressed the need to end the policy of legitimizing the Taliban and impose human rights and political sanctions on systematic violators of women's rights in Afghanistan.

The Women's Hope Window Movement deemed it essential for the United Nations Security Council and international organizations to officially condemn gender apartheid as a crime against humanity. It also called for the establishment of an international mechanism for holding UNAMA accountable and for complete transparency about the contents of this plan before the public opinion of the Afghan people.

It is worth mentioning that the "Mosaic" plan was introduced by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) with the aim of creating a space for dialogue among all political and social stakeholders in Afghanistan. However, human rights activists and civil society groups have expressed concern over its potential impact on legitimizing the Taliban.
