The Taliban’s War on Women: NGOs Under Attack!
The Taliban regime is tightening its grip on Afghanistan, now demanding that all NGOs, both “national and foreign,” fire every single woman they’ve dared to employ! This shocking move mirrors the discriminatory measures that have become the hallmark of Taliban governance since their return to power over three years ago. It’s a blatant attack on basic human rights disguised as adherence to radical ideology!
Can you believe this? Just two years ago, these organizations were already instructed to suspend the employment of Afghan women, citing improper adherence to Islamic dress requirements. Now, the situation has escalated to a chilling threat: comply or face total closure!
“In case of lack of cooperation, all activities of that institution will be canceled”
In a menacing letter released by the Ministry of Economy on a Sunday night, they issued this bold ultimatum: any NGO that fails to comply will lose their operational license in Afghanistan. This is not just a warning; it’s a declaration of intent from a government hell-bent on silencing dissent and erasing women’s presence from the workplace!
The Ministry declared that it oversees the registration, coordination, leadership, and supervision of all NGO activities. They are dead serious about controlling the narrative: all female work has been suspended in institutions not under their thumb. The stakes have never been higher!
Consider this alarming trend: the Taliban are resurrecting the very sexist restrictions that once caused international outrage during their last reign! Women are being progressively expelled from public life, with girls barred from secondary education. Just months ago, the new Taliban government ratified a law that tightens its iron grip on the population, further stripping away basic freedoms.
- Prohibitions against women singing, speaking, or reciting in public.
- The mandatory wearing of the full veil, including the burqa or hijab.
- A terrifying argument that such measures are necessary to prevent “temptation.”
This is not just a local issue; this is a global crisis unfolding right before our eyes! The Taliban’s War on Women is a direct affront to democratic values and human rights everywhere. We must pay attention and not stand idly by as this oppressive regime breathes down the necks of our sisters in Afghanistan!
