The taliban insurgent group have changed Afganistan name into 'Islamic emirate of Afghanistan' on Monday, after the takeover of the state on Sunday.
In what people and human rights watch sees as a reversal of achievement of women's empowerment, the Taliban have ordered women working in two banks in two provinces that fall under their jackboots to quit their work.
We cannot & must not abandon the people of Afghanistan.

It's time for the international community to stand, work & act together:
We must speak with one voice to uphold human rights.
We must unite to make sure Afghanistan is never again used as a safe haven for terrorists. pic.twitter.com/IspFhPi9zM
