Businesswoman created an embroidery center in Herat

Afghan Voice Agency(AVA)_Monitoring, In recent years, the craft of embroidery has flourished by women in Herat, and most of these handicrafts are used to decorate homes.

"Now I receive orders, I have nine students including one painter. This is very good for the girls,” Razia Ahrari told TOLOnews.

The girls who are denied an access to education sew various flowers on cotton sacks and produce unique handmade creations.

Naeemulhaq Haqqani, the director of Herat's information and cultural department, said the department supports the activities and work of girls and women in business.
"There hasn't been any obstacle from any organization, and it has been supported. God willing, there is an effort to promote women's business in accordance with Islamic Sharia,” he said.

Women's and girls' handicrafts have flourished once again in Herat during the past two years, during which time dozens of handicraft centers have been established throughout the city and hundreds of women and girls have been employed there.
