Although, there are concerns about the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, some decisions of the Interim Government have caused the assistance to be carried out conditionally.
The US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said on Twitter that Afghan women have been allowed to work in some non-governmental organizations, but some organizations are still encountering challenges in the recruitment of women employees.
SIGAR added: “Although the Taliban has allowed women to work in some non-governmental organizations, according to the findings, some NGOs are facing challenges in the recruiting of female staff.”
According to reports, more than 20 million Afghans are in need of humanitarian assistance, but aid agencies have repeatedly warned of a shortage of funds.
SIGAR uttered that some decisions regarding women have put the lives of mothers and children at risk, because restrictions on women deprive them of regular and essential health facilities.
SIGAR added: “Sanctions on women lead to increased morbidity and mortality of mothers and children, because they cannot receive good care and access to regular health services.”
Meanwhile, a number of political analysts, referring to the decisions regarding Afghan women, said the expediency has forced the Interim Government to conditionally interact with the world, and the international community is reluctant to help Afghanistan.
According to the international organizations, 17.6 million Afghans, including more than 8 million children, need health services in Afghanistan, and more than 13 million people live in vicinities where access to basic health facilities is difficult.
Experts deemed that the continuation of Interim Government’s decisions regarding Afghan women will further increase the political burden along with humanitarian assistance and Afghans will pay its cost.
