Women's Rights In AFGHANISTAN

Women in Afghanistan are not being seen as they should be! During the previous governments period, many women were considered solely based on sexuality or political issues.

And if a woman offered to become an employee for a job, she would either have to pay a bribe or be given immoral offers. Despite these problems, many women could work freely for themselves with the support of the UN and other non-governmental organizations.

Many bureaus advocated for women's rights in this country and still do. One of them is the UN WOMEN office, which still supports financially many women. But unfortunately, with the advent of the new government in Afghanistan, the fate of many women is still unknown!

For example, women athletes, models, and women whose husbands have been killed in civil wars struggle to continue supporting themselves and their families. Because of these significant affecting issues, I tried to create a collection of photos from three different stories so that I could support women's rights in Afghanistan and reflect their aspirations.

MAHJABIN, 42, lost her husband in the war eight months ago. Formerly a sports teacher at a girls' school, she can no longer work due to the laws of the new government. Mahjabin is a mother of four children. She shares her thoughts:

All my rights are being violated, and no one is responsible for my and my children's problems.

I am in a horrible situation. I have only received support from the UN WOMEN office, but I have not received any help from the government.

There is no bread to eat in our house, my only source of income is through spinning, and my income is very low. Therefore, I hope that unmarried women will be allowed to work so that I will be able to support myself and my family.
