Profile: Woman Works as Vendor on Kabul Street

Due to the economic challenges, a woman works as a vendor on the streets of Kabul, and was interviewed by TOLOnews.

She said that she has to work on the streets of the national capital from morning until night to find a piece of bread for her family.

“I come here at seven o'clock and I take out my cart and clean it, I go far away on my way to work,” said Rahela.

Rahela said that she lost her husband fourteen years ago and now she lives with her daughter in a rented house in Kabul.

“It is usual. If someone comes and I sell one or two things...if not, there is even a day when I sell nothing, I borrow money to go home,” said Rahela.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Economy says it has taken steps to address the country's economic challenges in the country.

“Our plan is to create job opportunities ... and reduce poverty, support small industries, strengthen the private sector and attract foreign investment,” said Abdul Latif Nazari, deputy Minister of Economy.

“The government must create different programs for them, the most basic of which is to create job opportunities, because creating suitable and sustainable jobs can be the solution to eradicating poverty,” said Muzmal Shinwari, an economist.

Previously, the World Labor Organization said in a report that nearly one million people would be out of work in Afghanistan by the middle of this year.
