FAWZIA KOOFI NOMINATED FOR AFGHAN NOBEL PEACE PRIZE | 2020

 FAWZIA KOOFI NOMINATED 

The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on October 9. 318 people around the world are competing for this prize. Although their names have not been officially released, a Norwegian peacekeeping team has announced that Fawzia Koofi's name is in the top 5. Favia, who lost her father, brother, and even her husband at the hands of the Taliban, became the first female deputy speaker in Afghanistan. He is negotiating peace with the Taliban, whom he has harmed. Introducing her.

It is very difficult to sit and talk in front of the enemy for whom we have suffered severely. Forgiving the enemy is even harder to talk about. Fawzia Koofi (45) did both. In the second week of September, the first round of peace talks was held in Doha, the capital of Qatar, with the Afghan government and representatives of the Taliban, who have not yet lost their indirect influence in Afghanistan. 

Now (from October 5) the next round of peace talks will take place. Of the 21 delegates representing the Afghan government, only four were women. Fawzia Koofi is one of them. Although she has personally suffered greatly from the Taliban, she is working for their transformation for the country.

Fawzia Koofi was born in the Badakhshan region of Afghanistan. Father is a Member of Parliament. Fawzia was the 19th child born to his 7 wives. To appease her husband, her mother wished that the unborn son would be well. But by the time Fawzia was born, she had already had many daughters, so she decided to die in the sun. Non-fascia is a tight fetus. Not dead. Her parents accepted her. Not only that, out of the whole offspring only Fawzia was sent to school and read. Fawzia grew up dreaming of becoming a doctor. But girls did post-graduation because the convenience of studying medicine did not exist during the Taliban regime.

Fawzia's father was killed by the Mujahideen during the First Afghan War (1979–89) in Afghanistan. They then fled to another area while Fawzia searched for the family. The Taliban came to power after the death of their father. Between 1996–2001, they brutally repressed those who spoke out against them. Fawzia's brother was shot and killed during the crackdown. Her husband was jailed for ten days if Fawzia got married. He went to jail twice and died of tuberculosis in prison.

Fawzia decided to enter politics for the future of Afghanistan, especially for the advancement of women, as Taliban domination began after 2001. Won as Member of Parliament from her own constituency in 2005. Not only that, she became the first Deputy Speaker of the country. Attempts to run for the presidency as the first woman to do so were marred by a flawed affair that changed the eligibility rules and barred her from running. Fawzia Koofi, however, was able to make a great impact. She has been a Member of Parliament for the last fifteen years.

The Taliban have no consensus on the fascia. She was assassinated in 2010. In August 2020, she was shot near Kabul. The bullet hit her right hand. With that in mind, she attended peace talks with the Taliban. ‘The Taliban are fighting nowhere. Ivalo Repo They come into direct politics. Even sitting in Parliament. Their ideology in the case of women is very undemocratic. They do not respect the human rights of women. But they need to be persuaded slowly. In Afghanistan, women make up 55 percent and men 45 percent. The country has lost its men in the last 40 years due to various wars and civil wars. Ivaltiki is losing. How many more should die.

Peace must be sought. But it is also important to realize that this is not possible overnight. If I am negotiating with the Taliban today I am not only representing women but also representing the people of the country. The right of women to education, the right to work, and the right to participate in politics are just now coming to a standstill. If I propose a bill against violence against women, it will not be passed by certain chauvinist groups. But most states are considering a summary of that bill. There is still a lot to be done. Young people are becoming fascinated with politics. We will all build a new Afghanistan. "I want women to be a part of that," said Favia Kufi.

Her past work with UNICEF for children's rights and her work for the advancement of women have all led her to the Nobel Prize. She is in the top 5 of 318 competing for the 2020 Peace Prize. "Coming so far is the greatest honor for Afghan women," she said. True. It is not uncommon for a woman to go from Afghan to Nobel. The results will be announced on October 9. Will Fawzia be the first woman to win the Nobel Prize from Afghanistan? Let's see.
