The top U.N. official in Kabul met with a Taliban government minister in Afghanistan's capital on Monday, following a decision by the country's new rulers to bar women from working for non-governmental organizations, the U.N. mission said.
The ban has already prompted four major international aid agencies to suspend operations in Afghanistan, raising the possibility that millions of people will be left without food, education, health care and other critical services during the harsh winter months.
Hanif at the time said that any organization found not complying with the order will have its license revoked. The four aid agencies stopped their operations in Afghanistan, saying they could not effectively reach people in desperate need without their female workforce. The Taliban takeover in mid-August 2021 as U.S. and NATO forces were in the final weeks of their pullout after 20 years of war, sent Afghanistan's economy into a tailspin and transformed the country, driving millions into poverty and hunger. Foreign aid stopped almost overnight.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation said the fundamental rights of Afghan women had been dealt yet “another severe blow” following the order. Its secretary-general, Hissein Brahim Taha, said the move reflected a “willful policy ... apparently seeking to further impact Afghan women's rights.”
