Afghan Women find new hope in Sweet (Cookie) Factory

epa10580770 Afghan women prepare snacks at a factory in Kabul, Afghanistan, 19 April 2023. A factory that specializes in making sweet treats has been founded in Kabul by an Afghan woman, providing economic opportunities to over 30 women and girls. These women are excited to have the chance to provide for their families and are hoping that the government and business leaders will take notice and provide more employment opportunities for women in the country. The restrictions imposed by the Taliban on females in Afghanistan will further worsen the economic situation in the country, the representative of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Afghanistan, Abdallah Al Dardari, said at a press conference on 18 April.
