A widowed midwife in the Pachir Agam district of Nangarhar province has accused Rafiullah Mansoor, a local health official, of severe harassment and coercion. She reports that Mansoor is pressuring her to submit to illegitimate demands, threatening to transfer her to a remote clinic or force her resignation if she refuses.
Sources allege that Mansoor is also involved in nepotism, having appointed his family members to vaccination posts, and faces corruption charges. The midwife describes a desperate situation where she is being forced to choose between her dignity and her livelihood.
This case highlights the vulnerability of female workers under the current administration, where accountability mechanisms are often lacking. The alleged abuse of power by local officials poses a significant threat to the safety and rights of women attempting to work in the health sector.
