The Taliban say they will close all national and foreign nongovernmental groups employing Afghan women.

Summary

The Taliban have ordered all nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Afghanistan to stop employing women, threatening to revoke licenses for non-compliance.

This expands a 2021 ban on women in NGOs for not wearing headscarves properly.

The UN reports increasing restrictions on female humanitarian workers, despite urgent aid needs.

The Taliban have also barred women from most jobs, education beyond sixth grade, and public spaces.

Separately, leader Hibatullah Akhundzada decreed obscuring windows overlooking areas where women might sit, further tightening controls.
