While Afghanistan<\/strong> faces economic collapse and a severe humanitarian crisis<\/strong>, NGOs play a vital role in saving lives and providing assistance to populations. Banning women from working will only lead to a dramatic and devastating consequence<\/strong> for the lives of millions of vulnerable women, men, and children in the country.<\/p>\n By banning women from working in NGOs, a red line has been crossed. M\u00e9decins du Monde (MdM) has made the difficult decision to suspend its activities because an effective humanitarian response<\/strong> in line with humanitarian principles cannot be achieved without women.<\/p>\n A choice also made by several NGOs in the country since the announcement on December 24.<\/p>\n
