On World Entrepreneurs Day, the UN expressed its support for Afghan women entrepreneurs throughout Afghanistan. The organisation praised their efforts in job creation and their contribution to economic growth.

“On World Entrepreneurs Day, we praise the amazing Afghan women entrepreneurs we work with nationwide. We proudly support them and their drive to innovate, create jobs, participate, and contribute to economic growth against all odds,” UN Women Afghanistan said on X (formerly Twitter).

Notably, amidst daunting challenges, women entrepreneurs in Afghanistan have become the bedrock of the economy. These women have excelled across diverse domains, from modest handicraft ventures to expansive cross-sector enterprises. Their businesses create local jobs and promote self-sustainability, bolstering the nation’s economic resilience. The United Nations’ acknowledgment of their contributions underscores their far-reaching influence, Khaama Press reported.
