In Herat, a ten-day exhibition titled the “Eid Market” has been inaugurated by women entrepreneurs, in which around 200 companies have presented their various products for display and sale.
The exhibition features items produced by women, including clothing, dried fruits, sweets, and handicrafts, aimed at promoting domestic production and supporting women traders.
Participating women entrepreneurs say that such markets provide effective opportunities for expanding their businesses and also create jobs and income opportunities for other women.
Some of the participants are women who have returned to Afghanistan from Iran. They say that after returning, they have resumed their production activities and are trying to meet their families’ economic needs through their handmade and home-based products.
It is noted that such exhibitions are considered important for marketing local products, empowering women economically, and promoting small-scale business activities.
