Empowering women in Afghanistan

The never-ending war, the Taliban and overall instability has been especially hard on the women in Afghanistan. As a whole, women are a little less than the 39 million people living in Afghanistan. Yet, they represent only 16% of the workforce and about 21% of the student population. Something that is still remarkable having been at war for various decades.

In Afghanistan, many families struggle to meet basic needs.Women in particular often have no chance to contribute or earn an income. With perfect climate and perfect growing conditions, saffron offers women in Afghanistan the chance to earn their own income. They learn simple bookkeeping skills, farming, and create a sense of community outside of their home.

The Woman behind bibi safran

Aresu Rabbani is the founder of Bibi Safran. Having come to Switzerland over 10 years ago as a refugee from Afghanistan, she knows all too well the plight that women there face. She wants to help her people and home country and what better way than by sharing the amazing saffron?

Not only does saffron have a lot of health benefits but Bibi Safran enables women in Afghanistan a chance to become empowered and earn an income. She’s also currently studying in Zurich and is a translator for asylum seekers.

AWS Afghan Women Support

Seit der Talibaninvasion im Jahr 2021 haben viele afghanische Frauen ihren Job verloren und leben seither am Existenzminimum. Der Verein Afghan Women Support unterstützt Frauen, in dem er ihnen ein sicheres Einkommen ermöglicht. Die Frauen kaufen Stoffe und stellen Taschen im traditionellen Stil her. Der Erlös der Taschen geht vollumfänglich an die Mitarbeiterinnen in Afghanistan.
