Women in Bamyan Concerned Over Diminished Market for Handicrafts

A number of female artisans in Bamyan are concerned about the diminished market for their handicrafts in the province.

According to them, the livelihood of many families depends on this profession, and these women are asking the caretaker government to collaborate with them in marketing their handicrafts.

Zahra Husseini, who has been engaged in the handicraft sector for over ten years, says the economy of her seven-member family depends on this job.

She states that the economic activity of these women needs the support and serious attention of officials in the caretaker government.

Zahra Husseini, an artisan, said, "Unemployment is high, people do not have economic power, and I am the sole breadwinner for my seven-member family. I cover all my family's expenses through the sale of handicrafts."

Another artisan, Zahra Wafa, said, "We want exhibitions to be held, marketing to take place, and also attention to be given to women's handicrafts."

Embroidery, weaving, and the creation of Hazara dresses are among the most important handicrafts of these women in Bamyan.

According to the statistics of the Bamyan Women's Industrial Weaving Association, there are currently more than 5,000 women engaged in the production of handicrafts in the center and districts of this province, of which 270 have set up booths in the city of Bamyan.

Zainab Karimi, head of the Women's Industrial Weaving Association, said, "The number of women who have booths and shops is over 250, and more than 5,000 others are busy producing handicrafts at their homes."

Amina Akbari, an artisan, said, "My income is solely from this work, through which I also contribute to my family, and I want to start a big business in the future."

However, the head of Information and Culture in Bamyan assures support for the economic activities of women in the province.

Safiullah Raed, the head of Information and Culture in Bamyan, said, "Tourism and trade are alongside each other, paying attention to them is beneficial for all people. The local administration of Bamyan fully supports the trade of women."

In addition to producing handicrafts, women in Bamyan are also engaged in fish farming, dairy processing, engraving, and painting, striving to overcome their families' economic challenges through these endeavors.
