INDONESIA’S ROLE IN STRENGTHENING THE COMMITMENT TO EMPOWER WOMEN TO SUPPORT THE PEACE PROCESS IN AFGHANISTAN

Abstract

The long-term armed conflict has shaken Afghanistan's social order. In the armed conflict in Afghanistan, women and children are the victims most affected by this situation. In the transitional period, conflict resolution in Afghanistan can only be achieved when the transitional government uses a development approach rather than a security approach. In the conflict in Afghanistan, Indonesia is one of the countries directly involved in guarding the peace process by involving the participation of ulama and empowering women. In this study, it was found that the development approach by cooperating with scholars and women is an important key to the success of peace building in Afghanistan. This research is a qualitative study, the data used to support the conclusions based on the monthly
report of the Indonesian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.
