RASC News Agency: The Taliban group recently issued a statement regarding the registration process for the recruitment exam in sanitary positions. They have declared that women not wearing the religious hijab will be ineligible to participate in the exam and will face disqualification. The National Administration of Examinations, under Taliban management, has initiated the registration process, including biometric information and registration for women undertaking the hygiene tests.
This process commenced on Monday, January 1st, at the Ghazanfar Institute in Kabul and will persist until the following Wednesday. It is crucial to note that female participants must adhere to wearing a religious hijab during the exam. Non-compliance with this requirement will lead to their disqualification, and they will be deprived of the right to file a complaint.
The institute recently announced that volunteers not adhering to the Sharia hijab will be denied access to the registration process, preventing them from providing biometric information or taking the exam. This decision coincides with the Taliban imposing numerous restrictions on women and girls during their two-year rule in Afghanistan, consistently emphasizing the necessity for women to wear a complete hijab.
Among the various regulations enforced by the Taliban, they have prohibited girls above the sixth grade from attending school and have closed universities to female students. These actions have prompted significant reactions from international authorities, highlighting the adverse impact on women’s education. It is crucial to recognize that the extensive restrictions imposed on women have presented substantial challenges for the country’s healthcare sector, raising growing concerns among female patients.
