Female entrepreneurs open all-women market in Kabul

A number of female entrepreneurs in Kabul, who have resumed commercial activities, said they have created a women’s market in Kabul with the cooperation of the private sector.

According to women entrepreneurs, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has also promised that they will cooperate with them in the development of their business in Shahr-e-Naw, 10th district of Kabul.

In this market, women are engaged in different types of work including embroidery and sewing.

These women entrepreneurs say they are trying to provide work for women and expand their economic activities, adding that no problems have been created for them by the government so far.

“We see that women can work properly; they can use their ideas and they can do it better,” said Marhaba Mohammadi, an entrepreneur.

“Now, it’s good because we started our work, and we are motivated that a business has begun its activities for women,” said Sahaba, another entrepreneur.

Nafisa Danish is one woman involved in the market and said that the leadership of the Islamic Emirate has promised them that they will cooperate seriously in expanding their business.

According to economic experts, the role of women in the growth of the country’s economy is valuable, and even small businesses can reduce the unemployment rate in the country.
