KABUL: The effective ban on the Taliban in women who worked sink on Monday, sparked anger over the loss of dramatic rights after millions of women and girl teachers were banned from high school education.
After promising a softer version of their brutal and repressive regime in the 1990s, Islamic fundamentalists tightened their control of women’s freedom one month after seizing power.
“I might have died,” said a woman, who was fired from her senior role at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“I am responsible for all departments and there are many women who work with me …
Now we all lose our work,” he told AFP, insisting he was not identified for fear of retaliation.

It happened after the Ministry of Education ordered a male teacher and students returned to secondary school on weekends, but did not mention millions of women and girls educators.
The Taliban on Friday also appeared to close the former government ministry and replace it with one who received fame during their first task to enforce religious doctrine.
While the new country ruler has not issued a formal policy that directly prohibits women from working, direction by individual officials has reached exceptions from work.

Hundreds of thousands have entered the workforce – a must in several cases because many women widows or now support an invalid husband as a result of two decades of conflict.
But since returning to power on August 15, the Taliban did not show a tendency to respect these rights.
When pressed, Taliban officials said women had been told to stay at home for their own security but would be allowed to work once the right separation could be implemented.
“When will it happen?” A woman teacher said Monday.
“This happened last time.
They continue to say they will allow us to return to work, but it never happens.” During the first Taliban government from 1996 to 2001, women were mostly excluded from public life including leaving their homes except accompanied by male relatives.
In Kabul on Friday, a sign for the service for the promotion of virtues and prevention of representatives was established at the Older Government Ministry of Housing Building for the construction of women’s affairs in the capital.
