00:00The importance of women's participation in peace talks
00:04at the International Conference on Women, Peace and Security
00:08according to the United Nations Special Envoy to the Horn of Africa, Hana Tete,
00:13can give a broader perspective on the effects of war
00:17on women because they are among the most affected when there is chaos.
00:22The peace process will be more legitimate and effective
00:26if women are included in the talks.
00:29And now, it is being challenged because there are still those who forbid women
00:34to study and have a voice in society,
00:38like the Taliban group in Afghanistan.
00:41Aside from the issue of peace, the ICWPS also mentioned
00:44women's rights and gender equality.
