The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has announced that it has provided assistance to 15,000 women in Afghanistan who are heads of their households during this calendar year.
The FAO highlighted this issue in a message posted on its X account.
The assistance includes food supplies, distribution of chickens, and the provision of vaccines and educational services.
The FAO emphasized that women play a crucial role in ensuring food security for families.
The organization added that access to food for women in Afghanistan has improved compared to the past.
It is worth noting that following the takeover of the interim government in Afghanistan, this group has deprived women of their right to work, leading to economic challenges for families.
This comes as the World Bank recently stated that Afghanistan, under the interim government, ranks among the 26 poorest countries in the world.
It should be noted that after the current government’s re-establishment in Afghanistan, the economy of families in the country has severely declined due to the group’s restrictions on citizens and a reduction in international aid.
