Pakistan and Iran are kicking out the Afghans in their country . This is causing problems with housing including for those already there since some homes are rented out by people that left and if they are forced ro return they will need their home back.

The cuts by Trump to foreign assistance around the world.

And of course the Taliban itself not allowing women to work.
