Zalmay Latifi, director of Enikass, who previously pushed for more women to be recruited, now fears this will not be possible.
“We told our female employees to stay home and to not come to work. We will provide them with equipment to carry out their duties at home,” Latifi told the Guardian, adding: “We can’t hire new women until the situation improves. We want to, of course, but this is about saving lives, it’s about security. It’s a tough choice.”
Saad Mohseni, director of the Moby Group – the company that launched Afghanistan’s biggest broadcaster Tolo TV – said Enikass has been providing the region with news and dubbed entertainment programmes. “Outlets like Enikass change Afghanistan, village by village, by informing and entertaining local communities. Most important of all, they were hiring local men and women, and created jobs,” he said.
