Maryam bint Ali Arrives in Kabul; Taliban Stand in Respect, but Female Doctors and Nurses Remain Confined at Home

Maryam bint Ali, an international activist and human rights advocate, arrived in Kabul, and the Taliban stood in her honor.

This symbolic gesture comes as thousands of female doctors, nurses, and educated women in Afghanistan remain confined to their homes due to the Taliban’s severe restrictions on women’s activities, preventing them from helping their fellow citizens.

In earthquake-affected areas like Kunar and Nangarhar, the need for female doctors and nurses is more critical than ever.

However, Afghan women, who possess the skills and expertise to provide medical and healthcare services, are barred from working and participating in society due to the Taliban’s discriminatory policies.

This situation has deprived many Afghan women of the opportunity to assist their compatriots during crises like earthquakes.

Meanwhile, the presence of female doctors and nurses in disaster-stricken areas could save countless lives and improve healthcare conditions.
