According to Khaama Press, the people of Afghanistan are plunged into utter despair and chaos and have no choice but to endure the situation.

NGOs and humanitarian organizations provide critical life-saving services to many in Afghanistan, providing food, water, shelter and health care, while some key programs, such as pre- and post-natal and baby care, are only managed by women, the UN human rights office said. supply.

The Taliban in Afghanistan earned a reputation for categorically excluding women from society during their rule from 1996 to 2001. With the group’s reemergence last year, Afghan women’s nightmares have grown by the day, until recently, Khaama Press reported.

The de facto system in Afghanistan that prohibits Afghan women and girls from attending university is extremely harsh. Not only does this bill discriminate against women in terms of learning and growth, but it undermines their academic goals and intellectual growth once and for all.

In addition, a second decree by the interim regime that prohibits Afghan women from working with national and international NGOs deprives them of their last chance to stand out in society and live independently, Khaama Press reported.

The implementation of the latest two declarations has completely isolated Afghan women and girls from social and public life. These gender-based discrimination will limit Afghan women and girls from living their lives within the family confines, without opportunities to educate, work, exchange opinions, grow and thrive.

At least 35 of the 140 private universities operating in Afghanistan are at risk of closure as the country’s educational institutions face a recession after the Taliban banned women from college, Tolo News reported.

If female students are not allowed to attend classes, some university bosses have warned that many other higher education institutions will have to close due to financial difficulties.

The Taliban’s ban on Afghan women’s access to higher education has reverberated around the world.

After the Taliban banned women from working in NGOs, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed deep concern over the decision. Guterres stressed that the decision would undermine the work of organizations to help the most vulnerable, especially women and girls, UN Secretary-General Stephen Dujarric said in a statement.

“The Secretary-General is deeply disturbed by reports that the de facto Taliban authorities have ordered a ban on women working for national and international NGOs,” Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.

In a statement, Qatar’s foreign ministry also called on the Taliban to review its decision to allow women to hold various jobs in the organization. (Arnie)
