Afghan women are now working in government and running shops in Kabul. In an interview with Kauser News, Ms. Khatra Rahmani, who sells handicrafts from her shop in Kabul, said she is happy that no one is harassing her.
“I am happy that I am able to work and support my family,” Rahmani said. “I am also happy that I am not being harassed. This is a big change from the past.”
Rahmani is one of many Afghan women who are taking advantage of the new opportunities that are available to them. In the past, women were largely excluded from government and the workforce.
The Taliban’s recent takeover of Afghanistan has led to a number of changes, including a greater role for women in society.
The new Afghan government has promised to uphold women’s rights, there are concerns that the Taliban could backslide on these promises. In the meantime, women like Rahmani are determined to make the most of the opportunities that they have.
“I want to tell other women that they should not be afraid to work,” Rahmani said. “We have the right to work and to be treated with respect.”
Rahmani’s story is an inspiration to women all over Afghanistan. She is proof that women can succeed in any field, regardless of the challenges they face. Her story is also a reminder that progress for women’s rights is possible, even in the face of adversity.
