After taking over the effective control of Afghanistan, the Taliban have been asking women journalists in the government-owned media platforms to not come to work, said TV anchor Shabnam Dawran. In an interview with India Today TV’s Preeti Choudhry, Shabnam Dawran, who worked in RTA Pashto, gave a glimpse of what professional women in Afghanistan are going through after the Taliban’s arrival in Kabul.
When Asked That Taliban have said that women will have all their rights. Tell us what happened with you.
Shabnam Dawran answered “I work in state-run news organisation RTA Pashto. After the Taliban took over Kabul, I went to my office the next morning where I was told to not come to work. When I asked what the reason was, they said the rules have now changed and women are not allowed to work in RTA anymore. When they announced earlier that women would be allowed to study and go to work, I got excited. But then I experienced the reality in my office where I was told that women won’t be allowed to work. I showed them my identity cards, but still, they asked me to go home.”
