Taliban bans Afghan women from working at NGOs
It was not clear if the ban, announced in a letter and confirmed by the economy ministry, also applied to foreign women or those working for the United Nations, which has a significant presence in the country.
However, the UN contracts NGOs that are part of ACBAR in Afghanistan to carry out its humanitarian work. In recent days, the Taliban have used water cannons to disperse those who have been protesting the ban on women attending university. Hamidullah Mutawakil, the local governor, disputed that version of events, saying only around five people turned up who had"no agenda, they just came here to make a film".
