Farkhondeh Akbari: Women, Peace, and Security in Afghanistan, Gebunden

Blurb

Women, Peace and Security in Afghanistan analyses the opportunities and limitations of the WPS agenda in the context of the world's worst erasure of women's rights.

Afghan women have long resisted war, violence and political exclusion, yet their struggles remain largely overlooked in global peace and security debates. This book examines how Afghan women's activism has reshaped the fight for rights and freedom. Through feminist pragmatist grounded normative theorising, Afghan women's diverse voices, strategies, and lived realities are made visible across war, peace and politics. From international military intervention and peacemaking deals to current engagement and non-engagement with the Taliban, this book is an urgent call to recognise and support women's agency in the face of oppression.
