The Taliban’s Ministry of Economy in Afghanistan has assured on Monday that women will be allowed to work in NGOs that require them, said the spokesman of that portfolio, Abdul Rahman Habib.
«Women’s work in NGOs has been stopped for a while and efforts are underway to find a fair solution to allow women to work where their presence is required,» Habib said, Afghan television station Tolo TV reported.
The new version given by the Taliban is a response to warnings by several organizations to halt humanitarian aid if the situation of women in Afghanistan remained as it is, after they announced a new ban on NGO work in the last month.
Meanwhile, small protests continue, especially in Kabul, by women’s groups demanding from the fundamentalists the rights they have been taking away since they came to power in August 2021.
Since then they have enacted new laws to prevent access to education for girls and women, as well as other measures that prevent them from having freedom of movement, or even working in humanitarian agencies, on which almost the entire Afghan population depends.
