Taliban ban women workers in NGOs, more than 25 million Afghans in need of help

DW, 11 Feb 2023
The UN says it will continue to work in Afghanistan despite a Taliban order banning women from working for aid agencies. That order is in addition to a long line of Taliban diktats preventing women from accessing jobs, education and social equality.
The female aid worker ban however has the potential to impact aid deliveries to a country dependent on them. Its already prompted some aid agencies to partially suspend operations. None of this good news for a country facing food and heating shortages, in the middle of a freezing winter.
