If the situation keeps going the way it is now, it will not end well

“Before the Taliban takeover, I worked as a social worker doing low-level activities for women. I have also worked on ending gender-based violence and supporting families facing economic challenges.

I was working on projects for the government and provincial-level migration authorities. I would share with them a list of people facing economic issues, and they would share this list with NGOs/INGOs confronting poverty. I also had a private business to support poor families from my income.

Since the Taliban takeover, I have had no projects from the government side. For now, I am running a project from an international NGO with total funding of USD 120,000 and 200 female workers. We have a plan to export the clothes they make outside the country. I also now have work planned for women who live in various districts.

I am concerned for the women who work with me on my projects. They have security concerns.
