Since the return of the Islamic Emirate, women in Afghanistan have been establishing small businesses as a source of income. 

Some of these women, working in tailoring and restaurant management, are seeking support from the Islamic Emirate.

Hasiba, one of these entrepreneurial women, has set up a tailoring workshop in a corner of the capital, where she prepares colorful traditional clothes for her customers, who are both inside and outside the country.

Hasiba has expressed her desire to expand her business to support other women. 

She told TOLOnews: "Our request of the government is to create more job opportunities for women so that we can expand our work outside Afghanistan and that there are no restrictions on women's work."

Sadiqa, an apprentice, said: "My request of the government is that we be allowed to go out and work to provide for our families."

Meanwhile, Palwasha has also established a small restaurant offering traditional dishes, with an initial investment of ten thousand afghani to support her family. She mentioned that her investment has now increased to sixty thousand afghani.

Speaking to TOLOnews about her restaurant, Palwasha said: "We ask the government to provide us with a larger space and some financial assistance so that we can expand our restaurant. Now that girls are no longer attending school, we can continue our work and make progress."

Arzoo, a restaurant employee, said: "I am very happy that I found work here because by working here, I can help my family."

The Ministry of Economy pledged that the Islamic Emirate is making efforts to support women entrepreneurs in the country.

Abdul Latif Nazari, the Deputy Minister of Economy, told TOLOnews: "The Islamic Emirate supports women in the fields of industry and commerce, and our efforts are focused on providing facilities for women, both in terms of marketing and strengthening handicrafts, where women play a significant role."

Previously, the Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry reported that over 2,500 women entrepreneurs have received business licenses in the past three years.
