World Food Programme: Women Have Limited Opportunities to Earn Income

Bayan News – The World Food Programme (WFP) says that currently, women in Afghanistan have very limited opportunities to earn income.

The UN-affiliated organization added in a statement on the social media platform X on Wednesday (October 2) that it is providing assistance to thousands of Afghan women.

The statement reads: “The World Food Programme is helping thousands of women across the country, most of whom are the sole breadwinners for their families, to learn new skills and become self-reliant.”

Since the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, the group has imposed numerous restrictions on women, including denying them the right to work.

Over the past three years, most families in the country, especially those where women are the breadwinners, have faced serious economic challenges.
