NGOs Condemn Afghan de facto Authorities' Ban on Women NGO Workers
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (Dec. 25, 2022) 鈥聽Responding to the announcement of a ban on NGOs employing women in Afghanistan, the leaders of CARE, NRC and 黄色视频said:
鈥淲e cannot effectively reach children, women and men in desperate need in Afghanistan without our female staff.聽Without women driving our response, we would not have jointly reached millions of Afghans in need since August 2021.聽Beyond the impact on delivery of lifesaving assistance, this will affect thousands of jobs in the midst of an enormous economic crisis.
鈥淲hilst we gain clarity on this announcement, we are suspending our programs, demanding that men and women can equally continue our lifesaving assistance in Afghanistan.鈥

- Save the Children
- Norwegian Refugee Council
