Taliban's Department of Standards inform that salaries in Afghanistan have reportedly witnessed a 15-fold increase. Sputnik reported that they have listed various accomplishments achieved in the country over one year. Fayzullah Tamim, the head of the Department of Standards, highlighted several positive developments:
- Revenues surged significantly by 15 times, reaching $25 mn.
- A total of 100,000 oil product tankers underwent inspection, with 2,000 of them being returned, reportedly as part of an anti-Iranian campaign (as stated by Afghanistan International).
- The establishment of testing laboratories for construction materials at strategic locations, including the Islam-Qala checkpoint (Iranian border), Hayraton, Kabul, and Jalalabad.
- A total of 775 standards were published, covering various fields.
With the Taliban's ascent to power, women's education in Afghanistan deteriorated, particularly in higher education institutions where access was curtailed. This led to a troubling rise in suicide rates among girls in the country. The global community strongly asserted that women have the inherent right to education. Additionally, Afghanistan imposed several prohibitions, such as:
- Afghan women working in UN offices;
- Men sewing clothes for women;
- Women going to male doctors;
- Women go to the hospital and visiting the park alone;
- Families and women having access to restaurants with gardens or green areas;
- Advertisements with female voices;
