KABUL, Aug 28: The Taliban has called on women who work for the health ministry to return to their jobs, reported BBC.
Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Twitter that female staff should "attend their regular duties" both in Kabul and other provinces.
He made no mention of other women employees. All had previously been told to stay at home for their safety.
Afghan women have expressed fear for their future following the Taliban's take over the country.
Zabihullah Mujahid also issued a directive telling the people of Kabul to hand in "weapons, ammunition and other government goods" within a week so that there would be "no need for offenders to be prosecuted if they are discovered".
