Taliban Bars Female Employees Suggests U.S. Not Interfere

U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, condemned the motion and shared his deep concern that the Taliban's ban on women delivering humanitarian aid will disrupt vital and life-saving assistance to millions.

Several foreign aid groups plan to temporarily suspend their operations in Afghanistan after the Taliban ordered all non-governmental organizations to stop their female employees from coming to work.

If the NGO’s do not comply with the order, their licenses are threatened to be revoked.

One aid group explained that they cannot reach children, women and men in desperate need in Afghanistan without women staff. Another group said that out of 8,000 employees over 3,000 are female and if they are not allowed to work, the aid group are not able to deliver to those in need.

The order has been put into effect due to Islamic dress code laws. Many lawmakers world wide disagree with the Taliban’s orders including U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.

Blinken condemned the motion and shared his deep concern that the Taliban’s ban on women delivering humanitarian aid will disrupt vital and life-saving assistance to millions.

A Taliban spokesperson responded sharing that U.S. officials should “not interfere in the internal issues of” Afghanistan.
