Sources from the Ministry of Finance confirm that the Taliban have officially stopped paying salaries to female government employees who were forced to stay home. Previously, these thousands of women, barred from entering their offices, received a reduced stipend of 5,000 AFN, but they have now been informed that payments will cease immediately.
This decision deals a devastating blow to Afghan women, many of whom are the sole breadwinners for their families. These professionals, who once held technical and important positions within the government, warn that cutting off this meager income will leave them unable to meet their basic daily needs and push them further into poverty.
The administration has ordered that only the salary for the month of Jadi (December-January) be paid, with no future payments scheduled. While the Taliban group has not yet commented officially, this move significantly worsens the livelihood crisis for women already struggling under severe employment restrictions.
