- In the latest repression of women's rights in Afghanistan, the Taliban ordered all nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to suspend its female employees on Saturday.
- Female NGO employees were not allowed to work until further notice, according to Economy Ministry spokeswoman Abdulrahman Habib, since they had not followed the Taliban's strict interpretation of the Islamic dress code for women.
- The letter, according to Habib, was sent to organisations listed with ACBAR, the country's coordinating body for humanitarian organizations.
- "Women must be enabled to play a critical role in all aspects of life, including the humanitarian response," Alakbarov said in a statement.
