The Taliban’s rule, established in August 2021, resulted in the exclusion of women from various aspects of public life, including education beyond the sixth grade and the closure of beauty salons.

Zohra Aslam explained that the first part of this new program has already started in Haripur. Initially, 275 women who are part of the Benazir Income Support Programme will receive thorough training.
