After the fall of the previous government, most of the women who worked in government agencies are now at home. The women say that after losing their jobs, their families have faced many economic challenges. They want the caretaker government to provide them with jobs.
Nazdana, a resident of Kabul, said: “The women who are currently at home are facing severe psychological problems and in this situation, they are facing economic challenges. The Islamic Emirate should pay serious attention to their problems. A
A number of women’s rights activists have also called on the caretaker government to provide education and employment opportunities for Afghan women.
“Afghan women want a meaningful presence in Afghan society and the realization of their rights, and they are committed to fighting harder in this regard,” said Maryam Maruf Irwin, a women’s rights activist.
Despite these challenges, for the first time since the establishment of the Islamic Emirate, the Ministry of Education has announced over 275 teaching positions for women in Kabul.
Aziz Ahmad Ryan, Broadcasting Director, Ministry of Education, said: “The total number of these posts is 1893, of which 275 are for women. The Islamic Emirate is trying to take the exams of these posts without any problems or mistakes.
Earlier, the International Labor Organization (ILO) said that nearly half a million people had lost their jobs since the Islamic Emirate came to power, and estimated that by the middle of 2022, women’s employment would fall by 28 percent.
