FEFA's advocacy group held a meeting with the deputy minister of justice

The FEFA advocacy group held a meeting with the Deputy Minister of Justice, Sayed Mohammad Hashemi, regarding the proposal of FEFA on women's role in political parties on July 8, 2019, at his office. At the beginning of the meeting FEFA representatives discussed about the role of women in political parties and the proposal drafted by FEFA, and shared with the Deputy Minister of justice /Technical Affairs on July 8, 2019. The political structure of countries are different from each other, but they are more conducive to the realization of democracy, and the supporter of those governments are political parties. Parties are pursuing different political principles. In fact, what distinguishes parties from other political system groups is an attempt to achieve political power. In a democratic system, reaching out to power resources most of all relies on the correct organization of parties, which is why the presence of women in political parties is one of the ways to reach the sources of power. The most important challenge facing women in accessing sources of power should be the absence of a democratic atmosphere in Afghanistan, even if the laws call Afghanistan a democratic state, but this democracy has not yet institutionalized the essence of the individual, the family, society and in one whole, the collectively people and the system. This has also had a direct impact on political parties. The plurality of political parties and the absence of clear plans, the foundation of political parties based on ethnic and linguistic divisions, religious groups, parties and the lack of adherence of a vast number of political parties to democratic foundations, are the hallmarks of such an atmosphere. Therefore, in such an atmosphere, there is no place left for women in political parties. Parties that themselves do not believe in women's rights and political participation in most cases, cannot enter the elite woman in society.
