'UNAMA received word of an order by the de facto authorities that bans female national staff members of the United Nations from working' theSun theSundaily Taliban Afghanistan Afghan female women
Taliban security personnel stand guard along a street to remove the window tint films from the cars of the commuters at a checkpoint in Fayzabad district of Badakhshan province on April 4, 2023. AFPPIX: The Taliban have extended a ban on women working for NGOs to the United Nations’ mission throughout the country, a UN spokesman announced Tuesday, calling such an order “unacceptable.”
The UN had so far been exempt from a December Taliban order for all foreign and domestic NGOs to stop women personnel working across the crisis-stricken nation. “This is the latest in a disturbing trend undermining the ability of aid organizations to reach those most in need,“ he added. Women workers are vital for on-the-ground aid operations in Afghanistan, particularly in identifying other women in need.
Last month, however, UNAMA chief Roza Otunbayeva told the UN Security Council she feared the Taliban government could extend the ban imposed on women working for NGOs to the UN's women staff.
