Taliban threaten to close NGOs employing Afghan women
ai generated text
The Taliban government in Afghanistan has announced a plan to shut down all national and foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that employ women, following a previous directive to suspend Afghan women from NGO roles two years ago. The reason for this decision is reportedly that women were not wearing the Islamic headscarf correctly. The United Nations has condemned this decision, stating that the space for women in Afghanistan has dramatically shrunk in the past two years.
In case of lack of cooperation, all activities of that institution will be canceled and the activity license of that institution, granted by the ministry, will also be canceled.
This really impacts how we can provide life saving humanitarian assistance to all the people in Afghanistan.
And obviously we are very concerned by the fact that we are talking about a country where half the population's rights are being denied and are living in poverty, and many of them, not just women, are facing a humanitarian crisis.
