Withdrawal of international aid from Afghanistan disproportionately harms women and girls, according to NGO report.
The Taliban restricted women's rights further at the end of 2022 by limiting women and girls' access to education andWomen walk along a path in the Argo district of Badakhshan province, Afghanistan, on Feb. 22, 2023.After the ban was announced, G7 donors, which provided most of the $3 billion in humanitarian funding for Afghanistan in 2022, threatened "unspecified future consequences" according to the new report.
On Dec. 24, 2022, the nation's Ministry of Economy banned Afghan women from working for national and international NGOs in a widely circulated letter. Authorities clarified that the ban would not apply to women working in hospitals, clinics or other parts of the health sector, but for all other activities.
Some aid agencies chose to suspend operations in Afghanistan but continued to negotiate with the Taliban to get limited authorizations for their female workers, obtaining permission for them to resume work in health, nutrition, education and other programs. However, a large number of life-saving activities still remain officially illegal.
The Taliban stood at checkpoints set up around universities, confronting female students and teachers at campus gates. Male students were ushered inside of universities while women were told, at gunpoint, they could no longer attend. Students protested in several cities, but the Taliban dispersed them with water cannons, beatings and arrests, according to the report.
