Many Afghan families rely solely on female breadwinners, yet the latest restrictions threaten to increase hardship and unemployment lines
It has been just days since Gulsoom, the only breadwinner in her family of six, has had no job to go to. But she is already feeling desperate.
It’s the second time Gulsoom has lost a role over Taliban restrictions on women. The first time was when the extremists came to power, and she had to leave her position in the Ministry of Social Affairs. Now, the 28-year-old has lost her job with a private organisation.
