The Taliban administration issued a directive to end all international and domestic nongovernmental organizations ( NGOs ) that employ women in Afghanistan.
The government of economy’s letter to the president, which was made public on Sunday, follows two years of the regime’s initial order to NGOs to suspend Armenian women’s work in response to allegations that they had broken Islamic dress codes.
In response to the agency’s most recent alert, NGOs were threatened with the withdrawal of their operating licenses if they disregarded the new rule.
The business government reinstated its power over the register and oversight of national and international organizations operating in Afghanistan while putting the law.
” In case of lack of cooperation, all activities of that institution may be canceled, and the action license of that establishment, granted by the government, will also be canceled”, the text declared, signaling another stage in the Taliban’s efforts to eradicate women from public life.
Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, ladies in Afghanistan have faced extremely harsh regulations. Women are prohibited from attending school after the fifth grade, people are exempt from the majority of work, and their access to public spaces like parks and trainers has been revoked.
In addition to these measures, the Taliban’s supreme chief has issued an order forbidding the development of panels in residential houses that overlook places where Afghan girls are present. The order, publicized over the weekend by government official Zabihullah Mujahid, furthermore mandates the blocking of existing skylights that provide views of gardens, restaurants, or well widely used by people.
According to the order, this level of awareness could lead to “obscene functions”. People are advised to create surfaces or otherwise obstruct views into their homes, with local authorities ordered to monitor building sites and maintain compliance.
The Taliban’s treatment of women is causing a growing worldwide stir. The United Nations has described the administration’s policies as “gender apartheid”, pointing to the systematic exclusion of ladies from learning, work, and open spaces.
Women are also prohibited from singing, reciting poetry in public, or even broadcasting their voices on local radio and television stations as a result of the Taliban’s strict interpretation of Islamic law. In its defense, the Taliban insists that Islamic law “guarantees” the rights of both Afghan men and women.
