Meanwhile, US Special Envoy for Afghanistan, Rina Amiri said that one year ago, the Taliban prohibited Afghan women from attending university, \u201cstripping half the country’s population of their dreams and the entire country of economic stability and the prospect of the next generation moving towards a hopeful future.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must all stand firmly with the Afghan people, particularly women and girls, as they call on us to counter these policies and remember that they are not borne of Afghan culture, but of Taliban ideology,\u201d she furthered.<\/p>\n
She went on saying that \u201con the one year mark of edicts further crippling women\u2019s participation in education and work, we must amplify the mantra among Afghans, (unban the bans).\u201d<\/p>\n

She also said that the Taliban’s suspension of Afghan female NGO and UN staff poses a serious threat to the delivery of critical humanitarian assistance. \u201cEven where women have negotiated the space to work, the ban leaves them vulnerable to intimidation and threats,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the Taliban also arrested a number of Afghan female civil society activities in the last two years. The Taliban had just released Parissa Azada, a female protester, and women rights activists, after spending 41 days in Taliban captivity.<\/p>\n
Female Afghan women\u2019s rights activists released from Taliban jail \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Tamana Zariab Paryani, women\u2019s rights activists, who was also arrested by the Taliban once, had made the announcement and said that she is happy that Azada has been released.<\/p>\n She said that she hopes that all Afghan female activities will be immediately released from the Taliban jails. Azada was detained on November 15 from Kabul as she was staging protests against the ban on women\u2019s work and education.<\/p>\n Azada\u2019s release has come just weeks after Taliban released two other female protesters, Joulia Paris and Neda Parwani. But another protestor, Manizha Sediqi, has been in Taliban custody since October 7.<\/p>\n Speaking to Harici, Nafisa Ahamdi, a female NGO worker in Kabul, said that she is jobless for one year, and has been scrambling with economic challenges. She said that the Taliban should explain the logical reason for banning women from work. \u201cTaliban should come to the fore and explain why they banned us from workplaces. Okay, if the Taliban want us to stay at home, then they should pay us money on a monthly basis,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n She said that she needs to work to feed their children. \u201cMy husband was killed in a suicide bombing in Kabul five years ago. Now I am the sole breadwinner of my family. The Taliban must pay me or let me work,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n Ban on women\u2019s work triggered economic challenges \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Anisa Walizada, a former female NGO worker, had called on the Taliban to let the girls go to schools and universities and women back to the worksites. She said that she was working in an NGO and her life was very good but now she is just surviving. \u201cI have to pay for my home rent and also I need to support my father economically because he is an old man,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n She said that the Taliban must reverse its decision, otherwise, the Afghans will be further triggered to poverty.<\/p>\n However, the Taliban says that women can work, but not in all sectors. According to the Taliban, women should work in health sectors and education. Meanwhile, the United Nations have recently said that Taliban\u2019s ban on women work made Afghanistan\u2019s economic crisis fatter and also raised the need of humanitarian support and at least 28 million people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On December 24, 2022, the Taliban announced a ban on women working in NGOs and other international organizations.
