A woman has created a carpet weaving center in Faizabad, the capital of Badakhshan, providing vocational training opportunities for about 200 other women.

This woman aims to engage girls who are left out of education in vocational training through the establishment of this center.

Farkhunda, the person in charge of the carpet weaving workshop, says: "We established this workshop with a fund of three hundred thousand Afghanis to keep women busy so they can contribute to their families' financial situations."

Several women working in this center are asking the interim government for financial support.

Sohaila, a trainee, said: "Schools may be closed for a lifetime, that's why we came here to learn something, to earn a wage for ourselves, and to promote carpet weaving in Badakhshan province."

Another trainee, Sabrina, says: "We ask the Islamic Emirate to ensure that women, children, and girls are not left unemployed. Schools should be opened."

Meanwhile, the Department of Industry and Commerce in Badakhshan says that over the past year, more than 600 women in the center and districts of this province have turned to business activities.

Samaruddin Rahmani, the director of establishments at the Department of Industry and Commerce in Badakhshan, said: "So far this year, 610 women are actively engaged in various sectors under our supervision and with institutions, involved in production and industrial activities, and the Department of Industry and Commerce is aware of and supports their activities."

Previously, a large number of girls who were left out of education and had turned to learning vocational trades had asked the interim government to reopen educational institutions for girls.
