Taliban lifts ban on female activists in NGO

,According to a statement on Monday, the acting head of the UN mission in Afghanistan asked the acting finance minister of the Taliban administration to reverse the decision to ban women activists in the NGO during a meeting. 

'Afghans need humanitarian aid'

UNAMA head and humanitarian aid coordinator Ramiz Alakbarov told the Taliban minister that millions of Afghans are in need of humanitarian aid and it is essential to remove barriers to access. It is a matter that after the arrival of Taliban in Afghanistan, the country's economy has become busy. Lakhs of people are becoming victims of hunger and poverty. However, even during this time, the Taliban is not desisting from suppressing civil liberties and adopting anti-women policies. 

Order not to hire women

On Saturday, the Taliban ordered all local and foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) not to employ women workers until further orders. This order will not directly affect the work of the United Nations, but there are many non-governmental organizations working for the United Nations that will be affected by this order. 

International pressure is not affecting Taliban

Since taking power, questions have been raised on the Taliban for human rights and women's rights. The Taliban has also banned higher education for women. Despite international pressure, the Taliban are determined to implement hardline Sharia law in Afghanistan. Many countries including India have protested against these policies.
