Three NGOs are suspending operations in Afghanistan after women were banned from working for them.
The aid groups say the ban on female staff is a direct threat to their lifesaving work
Abdel Rahman Habib, spokesman for the Taliban's ministry of economy, claimed female workers at the foreign aid groups had broken dress codes by not wearing hijabs. "Whilst we gain clarity on this announcement, we are suspending our programmes, demanding that men and women can equally continue our lifesaving assistance in Afghanistan," their statement added.
NGOs also expressed concern about the effect the ban would have on jobs "in the midst of an enormous economic crisis".
