Taliban impose restrictions on working women
Kabul: The Taliban on Monday imposed more restrictions on women regarding educational right and closed all workplaces for their female citizens.
Earlier Taliban announced for giving equal rights to their women citizen as the government promised Afghan citizens to give a softer version of their oppressive administration of the 1990s, the group has been disrobing at liberties one month after claiming power.
“I was in charge of a whole department and there were many women working with me… now we have all lost our jobs,” she told the Private news agency, claiming she not be acknowledged for fear of revenge.
“I may as well be dead,” said one woman, who was dismissed from her senior role at the foreign ministry.
The acting mayor of the capital Kabul has said any municipal jobs currently held by women would be occupied by men.
While after the education ministry ordered male teachers and students back to secondary school at the weekend but made no reference to the country’s millions of women educators.
The all-male-oriented government also seemed to shut down the former administration’s ministry of women’s affairs and substituted it with one that received disrepute during their first spell in power to implement religious policies.
Many Afghan women are screaming out in the streets for their basic rights against the government.
