A three-day exhibition, titled \u2018Bibi Khadija\u2019 opened on Saturday, Feb. 7, in Badakhshan, where businesswomen from across the province are showcasing their handicrafts, local products, and homemade goods.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shohra Tamanna, head of the Badakhshan Women\u2019s Chamber of Commerce and Industries, said the exhibition was designed to give small and medium producers, as well as larger companies, a dedicated space to present their products and connect with customers and one another.<\/p>\n

She explained, \u201cOur aim is to create direct links between women producers and the market. This exhibition is more than just a collection of stalls. We want women to introduce and sell their products directly to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that many women produce handicrafts at home but have limited access to markets. Through this exhibition, she said, traditional arts and handicrafts are being highlighted, while modern and innovative products are also finding their place.<\/p>\n

Rokhsar Rezaei, one of the participants, said taking part in the exhibition gives her a valuable opportunity to display and sell her products. She said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI work in confectionery and have brought halva, walnut, gulab jamun, and honey,\u201d and she added, \u201cThis exhibition is very useful because it allows us to offer everything we produce at home. When people buy our products, it motivates us to continue our work and increase production.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadia Rezaei, another participant, said the exhibition allows her to introduce the achievements of Badakhshani women in handicrafts.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur products include Afghan clothes (Afghani gand), beaded garments, Tajik belts, as well as Badakhshani hats,\u201d She said.<\/p>\n

She added that holding such exhibitions was very important and that she hoped people would come to see their work up close.<\/p>\n

Among the visitors, Setayesh Yaftali said she came not only to shop but also to support and encourage women.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was here on the first day and the products were amazing,\u201d she said. \u201cToday, I brought money to buy products and necessities for Eid. My main goal is to encourage women, and I hope women across Afghanistan support one another.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another visitor, Nahed Nahawi, said she attended to see the art and products of Badakhshani women and to support them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to see local clothing, dried fruits, and traditional foods, and to buy whatever I could,\u201d she said. \u201cIt makes me happy to see other women coming, purchasing products they like, and encouraging the artisans in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, the exhibition offers women a valuable opportunity to showcase their skills and creativity, access direct markets for their products, and connect with the public as well as other businessmen and businesswomen.<\/p>\n
