World Food Programme: Afghanistani Women Face Limited Income Opportunities

Published 02/10/2024
SHARE

RASC News Agency: The World Food Programme (WFP) has reported that Afghanistani women, living under Taliban rule, have minimal opportunities to earn an income. In a statement released on Wednesday, October 2, via the social platform X (formerly Twitter), the WFP expressed deep concern over this issue.

 

The WFP underscored its ongoing efforts to assist thousands of Afghanistani women. The statement read: “The World Food Programme is providing vital support to thousands of women across Afghanistan, many of whom are the primary breadwinners for their families, by helping them acquire new skills and achieve self-sufficiency.”

 

Since the Taliban’s return to power, they have not only enforced stringent restrictions on women but also stripped them of their right to work. Over the past three years, this has significantly worsened the economic struggles of most families, particularly those led by women. Despite the growing challenges, the Taliban remain indifferent, effectively banning women from participating in the workforce, which they claim is contrary to their interpretation of Sharia law.

 

Four decades of war in Afghanistan have left millions dead or wounded, with women often assuming the role of family providers. Yet, the Taliban view women leaving their homes as both sinful and criminal, enforcing severe limitations without consideration for their well-being. Thousands of women, especially in urban centers, have been driven to beg on the streets in order to keep their children alive, as their access to work remains blocked by the regime’s oppressive policies.
