The Taliban ordered women in Kabul to leave the workforce on Sunday, telling them to stay home pending a further decision.

Interim Kabul Mayor Hamdullah Namony made the announcement during his first news conference since the Taliban appointed him. Namony said that Kabul women must stay home regardless of employment status. There will be exceptions made for women who cannot be replaced by men, including some in the design and engineering departments and attendants of public toilets for women, according to the Associated Press.
