The Taliban is a brutal jihad group that follows the letter of the Hadiths and Qur’an. See HERE. No amount of effort to try to normalize the Taliban will change its doctrines, and so-called humanitarian aid to Afghanistan will only flow into its coffers and strengthen it against its own people. The Taliban’s latest move to drastically slash the wages of women should be expected. Following the world’s complaining about it, especially at the pointless UN Human Rights Commission, nothing beyond lip service will be done even to attempt to change the treatment of women in Afghanistan.
‘Systematic Discrimination’: Taliban’s Drastic Cut In Salaries
Of Female State Employees Triggers Anger
Radio Free Europe, June 18, 2024:
Shugufta, an elementary school teacher, earned around $300 per month under the previous Western-backed Afghan government.
But after the Taliban seized power in 2021, the extremist group cut the salaries of female government employees by half.
Despite her lower income, Shugufta was relieved to work as the country grappled with an economic meltdown after the Taliban takeover.
The hard-line Islamist group has barred thousands of women employed by the previous government from returning to their jobs. Only women whose jobs cannot be done by men according to the militants’ strict interpretation of Shari’a law — including doctors, nurses, and teachers — have been permitted to work.
But in a major blow, the Taliban-led government last week issued a decree that set the monthly salaries of all female government employees at 5,000 afghanis, or around $70, regardless of their job, qualifications, or experience……
…..Volker Turk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said the “discriminatory and profoundly arbitrary decision further deepens the erosion of human rights in Afghanistan.”
In a June 13 statement, he called on the Taliban to “rescind all laws, instructions, edicts, and other measures that discriminate against women and girls.”…
Yeah! Good luck with that! This is the manifestation of how valuable devout Muslims consider women to be.
