Living conditions and difficult circumstances, aggravated by the ban on education, have forced women in Afghanistan to learn professions and handicrafts to occupy their time and earn money to support their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women from various cities in Afghanistan, such as Pul-e-Khumri, Kunduz and Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, are now actively learning carpet weaving, following the Taliban’s ban on education in schools and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The head of Baghlan Carpet Industry Association, Mohammad Arif Gholami, said in a statement seen by Shia Waves Agency that, “More than (500) families in the province are currently engaged in carpet weaving inside local homes and factories.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He continued that ” many women working in this profession are students of schools and universities, where they came to learn this industry to escape from psychological pressure and occupy their time with useful work,” pointing out that “the association helps girls in marketing and selling their carpet products”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be mentioned that since Taliban returned to power in 2021, girls have been prevented from going to schools and universities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
