This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 66%. (I'm a bot)

> Afghanistan's Taliban ordered all local and foreign non-governmental organisations to stop female employees from coming to work, according to an economy ministry letter, Reuters reported.

> The latest crackdown on women's rights in the country comes as the letter said the female employees were not allowed to work until further notice because some had not adhered to the administration's interpretation of Islamic dress code for women.

> Earlier, Associated Press reported that Taliban security forces used a water cannon to disperse women protesting the ban on university education.

Every country in the world should abandon those miserable assholes. No companies, no aid, no nothing.

Birthing pods with no medical care, because they say male doctors can't see female patients, but they don't want women to be doctors and nurses anymore either....

I mean yes, horrible of them. On the other hand... if you are a woman working in ngo, try not going to Afghanistan? It is way to dangerous for your health

Yeah and the part that's really interesting is that the population doubled in the 20 years between Taliban control. They went from 20 million to 40 million and they have been experiencing droughts recently as well. It's estimated that more than 50% of Afganies are experiencing food shortages. I'm not too sure the Taliban can stave off mass famine without the help of the NGOs. The future of Afganistan really looks dim.

By... not showing up? NGOs are charities and aid organizations. No government ordered them in there, you know, hence the whole "Non-Government" part of NGO. They can choose to leave just that easily.

Their money is better served in a country where the government is trying to get its shit together and pull its people out of poverty, like any one of 15 nations in Africa.

Time to leave the afghans to their own misery imo. They want our money but not our values. If they want to live in the Stone Age , fine. Cut them off

Capitalism is what drives women's rights. A stay at home mother is a person who isn't maximally contributing to the capitalist system. Perhaps if America had invested in Afghanistan by entering into resource extraction partnerships, women would have had a chance. Instead, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden only cared about the bullshit stories they could get in the news, about how 15 Afghan women graduated college. Well, there's no colleges in Afghanistan and no jobs for college educated people.

The only way to help the people of Afghanistan is to cut off all aid and let the starving men and women take down the Taliban through sheer hunger and desperation.

Many NGOs receive funding from local, state, and federal government entities through grants. A grant is a financial award given to an organization with a specific purpose. Grants help provide funding for medical research, economic development, educational advances, and various projects that provide public services.
