She said that all other male colleagues were allowed to enter the office premises but she was not.

Dawran has sought assistance from international agencies, saying Afghan women are still facing major threats in the country.

This comes as earlier this week Taliban seized the capital Kabul following former President Ghani’s flee from the country.

The Taliban refusal to let Dawran to office has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with users asking the Taliban to remain committed to its pledges.

On Tuesday, Zabihullah Mujahed, spokesman for the Taliban said that they are committed to women’s rights along Islamic lines.

Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on those in authority “to guarantee the protection of women and girls and their rights.”

“We will monitor closely how any future government ensures their rights and freedoms,” he tweeted.
