"The Taliban’s reckless and dangerous order barring female employees of national and international non-governmental organizations from the workplace puts at risk millions of Afghans who depend on humanitarian
assistance for their survival," said the statement by the foreign ministers of the United States, Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the EU.
