Alwaght- Taliban has ordered all local and foreign nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to prevent female employees from coming to work, according to an economy ministry letter.
The letter, confirmed by economy ministry spokesperson Abdulrahman Habib on Saturday, said the female employees were not allowed to work until further notice because some had not adhered to the Taliban-Run administration’s interpretation of the Islamic dress code for women.
The letter said any NGO found not complying with the order would have their operating license revoked in Afghanistan.
The order came days after the ruling Taliban regime ordered universities to close to women, prompting strong global condemnation and sparking some protests and heavy criticism inside Afghanistan.
