Four women who reportedly ran empowerment workshops in a volatile area of Pakistan were killed on Monday, according to local police and the women’s employer. The attack raises concerns as an increase in Taliban activity has recently been reported across certain areas of Pakistan.

Fayaz Khan is the chief executive of Bravo College of Technology in Peshawar. Khan said that the women were hired in order to help the local women of the area learn vocational skills such as sewing in North Waziristan.
