Later, Homa went to Iran, where she was elected representative of Afghan refugees in 2001 in order to participate in Loya Jirga. This is the Great Council Meeting that established the interim government in Afghanistan. Despite her election Homa was not allowed to take part in Loya Jirga, because she is a woman.

On her return to Kabul, she joined the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission as a women's rights programme officer in 2004. She has conducted numerous trainings on the Islamic perspective of women's rights. These covered Afghanistan's main provinces and included more than 300 Mullahs.

Homa Sultani said she had met the reclusive Omar some 150 km from the capital and that they had wept together after deliberating the country’s plight. Omar then sat down on Sultani’s headscarf which she had placed on the floor in front of him, she said, before the one-eyed fugitive leader accepted her proposal to act as his lone mediator for peace. “It wasn’t that Mullah Omar had fallen in love with my eyes or my eyebrows, we seriously engaged in peace talks,” Sultani told the news conference in Kabul on 20110714. Another male MP, Haji Abdul Basir, who was also at the news conference, had witnessed the meeting, Sultani said. That Sultani’s story would draw a packed audience from Kabul’s local and international press corps along with low-profile Afghan delegates from Western embassies, shows just how little is really known about peace “talks” with the Taliban. “Several embassies (inc Brits) sent people to today’s bizarre presser with Mullah Omar’s improbable mediators. At the press conference, Sultani also produced a handwritten letter. On one side, she said, was an endorsement from Afghan President Hamid Karzai and on the other side was a signature from Mullah Omar. The letter had been written in Dari although Mullah Omar’s first language, like the vast majority of the Taliban, is Pashto. Despite the letter however, the Afghan government had pulled out of the agreement at the last minute, she added later. (20110715)
