Foreign aid organisations stopped their functioning in Afghanistan as a result of the Taliban’s decision to forbid women from working.
Foreign aid organisations stopped their functioning in Afghanistan on Sunday as a result of the Taliban’s decision to forbid women from working for both international and local non-governmental organisations.
Without their female workers, Save the Children, the Norwegian Refugee Council, and CARE claim they are unable to successfully reach the children, women, and men in Afghanistan who are in the greatest need.
In the latest crackdown on women’s freedoms in Afghanistan, the Taliban regime has ordered all local and foreign non-governmental organisations (NGO) to stop female employees from coming to work in the country, TOLOnews reported on Saturday.
The Taliban-led Ministry of Economy ordered all national and international non-government organizations to suspend the jobs of female employees until further announcement, Afghan news agency TOLOnews reported.
Citing a Taliban spokesperson Abdul Rahman Habib, TOLOnews said the Islamic outfit Ministry of Economy (MOE) warned that if any organization, which receives a license from the MoE does not implement the order, their license will be cancelled.
