ABUL(Xinhua): More than 130,000 Afghan women are currently participating in women-owned businesses across Afghanistan, according to a recent report by local media. Since the Afghan caretaker government assumed power in August 2021, over 2,500 female entrepreneurs have secured business licenses, while thousands more continue their business activities without formal licenses, as reported by TOLOnews recently.

Ahmadzai emphasized the chamber’s commitment to supporting Afghan female entrepreneurs, despite the challenging circumstances they face.
