Bitter story of Afghanistan’s people: Afghan women forced to beg for survival

KABUL: This young girl says today is the first day she has gone out in search of bread, and she has not yet been able to break her fast. She lives with her mother and sister. There is no male guardian in the household, three women are left on their own. She says she is hungry. Her face tells a story: begging was not her choice, but a necessity. Amid widespread poverty and the lack of employment opportunities for women, many are forced to stretch out their hands for a single piece of bread. Until sustainable work and income opportunities are created, scenes like this will continue to repeat themselves.
