Ehtesab

A UN report from May 2025 reveals AI in the workplace is nearly three times more likely to automate women’s jobs than men’s, primarily due to gender distribution in roles vulnerable to AI, such as white-collar positions where women hold 70% of jobs compared to men’s 50/50 split across white and blue-collar roles (Goldman Sachs data). The report aligns with broader trends: AIPRM’s 2024 statistics show 8 out of 10 U.S. women are in occupations highly exposed to generative AI automation, versus 3 out of 5 men, highlighting how AI targets content-creation roles often occupied by women. LinkedIn data from 2022-2023 shows men, particularly male millennials, dominate AI-related workplace conversations (58% vs. 31% women), suggesting men may be better positioned to adapt to AI demands, potentially widening the gender gap in job security.

@HamidFarhad33 Ehtesab doesn't have any features to record gender aparthied instances. We never planned it nor developed nor it was ever discussed internally. Ehtesab is closed as it was not being used by anyone plus some internal issues involving transparency

Salaam @EhtesabApp , Is this true? I saw this on Rukhshanas website Sara Wahedi Board Member Sara Wahedi is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Ehtesab, Afghanistan's first civic-technology startup. Ehtesab’s flagship platform, the 'Ehtesab App', launched in March 2020, serving as a nationwide alert system but also as a platform for crowdsourced reports, and capturing human rights infringements across Afghanistan. Ehtesab is presently advancing a feature dedicated to recording 'gender apartheid' instances, aiming to strengthen the recognition of gender apartheid as an actionable offense in international jurisprudence. With a vision for 2024, Wahedi intends to extend the platform's reach to other crisis-prone regions globally. @RukhshanaMedia @ZahraJoya @Amie_FR

@HamidFarhad33 Ehtesab was never a startup, it was a join project by Sara Wahedi and NETLINKS. NETLINKS paid for the complete development and initial salaries of all staff including Sara Wahedi. It was an alert system to notify users of incident reports in Kabul only

Great leaders inspire and uplift their teams, fostering growth and success for everyone. Self-serving leaders, however, prioritize their own gains at the expense of others. @charmaghz @freshtakarim

@edwardburnettt @SaraWahedi The article though has some mistakes: 1. Ehtesab was launched in late 2020 2. Ehtesab was fully funded by @netlinksaf including Ms Sara's salary 3. Ehtesab app was developed by @netlinksaf 4. Ehtesab is not a separate company or a startup

@edwardburnettt @SaraWahedi We wish Ms Sara best of luck with her studies in Oxford. She has been instrumental in the initial startup of Ehtesab project.

Welcome to #Oxford @SaraWahedi! 🎓👋 oxfordmail.co.uk/news/24666378.…

@AfgPeaceful NETLINKS did closed the app down because the app was not used by a decent number of users making sense to support it further

@AfgPeaceful Ehtesab did not receive any fundings from any donors. The app was fully funded and developed by NETLINKS. A team of volunteers along with Sara Wahedi ran it as NETLINKS had no involvement in day to day operations of the app other than initial funding n dev

To reach 7,500 users, it took her more than five years. How much money did she get from Western donors to launch her worthless app?

@thesurepath1 @paykhar One of the reasons @netlinksaf closed this project down - nobody using the app and no real utility from the app

@EhtesabApp @paykhar 1400 reports in 4 years, break that down. That comes to around 7 reports per week. If she wasn’t so active in support of corruption, I would have said something like “better luck next time, your team gained excellent experience and that counts in IT.”

Nobody ever used this app.

@HamidFarhad33 @SaraWahedi @netlinksaf I believe we have already sent you the stats for the app by email

@HamidFarhad33 @SaraWahedi @netlinksaf NETLINKS is a known software development company in Afghanistan operating for over a decade. We financed development and sustainment of the app because of its public good features.

Thanks for clearing things up @EhtesabApp .. I had a few questions Can you explain how Ehtesab was a startup? Who is Netlinks? What experience do they have? Can you give a breakdown of the exaggerated figures that @SaraWahedi brought up?

@younasejazi @nahafghan The app did receive a major update (app and website were completely rewritten) with new features and updates but never published by NETLINKS - the company behind the app development. As mentioned before, we will be releasing the complete code as an open source project.

@nahafghan I never had an issue with the funding part. But I stand with you on its impracticality and anachronistic reporting. Besides, the app barely had a feature update since its inception, no wonder it failed this miserably.

@nahafghan @younasejazi FYI - except a gofundme initiative, Ehtesab has never received any fundings from any organization to the best of my knowledge. Ehtesab was never a separate registered entity but a project under NETLINKS so we would always know if there was fundings.

@younasejazi Bro, it's literally there for sara wahidi to get her funding, nothing else, it's fake reporting all the time

@younasejazi Yes, that is the plan. Our team at @netlinksaf are working to prepare the code for general purpose and publish it as an open source project in coming days

We can be reached at info@ehtesab.app should you have any questions or queries. (5/5)

We will also release the latest version of Ehtesab website and app (which was never published online) on @github as an open source project. Anyone can implement it for their communities or help further develop it. (4/5)

After years of serving as a civic engagement app in Afghanistan, @netlinksaf , the developer of #Ehtesab is closing its app and website. The decision aligns with the departure of Ehtesab project’s Co-founder, Ms. @SaraWahedi 1/5)
