The United Nations has announced that Deputy Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo will lead the upcoming third Doha Meeting for Afghanistan, which will discuss issues such as the inclusion of women and women's rights in the country. Ms. DiCarlo will meet separately with representatives from the Taliban, Afghan civil society, and other stakeholders. This move comes after criticism that the UN has neglected the issue of women's rights in previous meetings, which were led by Secretary-General António Guterres. Despite this, UN Special Envoy Rosa Otunbayeva has stated that women's rights will be addressed in areas such as combating drug trafficking at the third Doha meeting.
