Afghanistan: Woman journalist forced to work as street vendor in Kabul to face economic crisis
Kabul: A woman journalist in Afghanistan is now forced to work as a street vendor to support her family members who are facing economic crisis ever since the Taliban regime came to power in August.
Farzana Ayoubi said she lost her job amid rapid political changes in her nation.
“With the closure of some media organizations, journalists became jobless and I was forced to work as a vendor as they don’t allow us (women) to work,” she told Tolo News.
She urged the international community and media watchdogs to pay attention to the problems of the media family in Afghanistan.
“The international community and the media watchdogs should consider our situation,” the journalist, who worked for several media organizations in the country, said.
Officials of the media watchdog organizations said that they have been trying to resolve the problems of the Afghan journalists.
“I call on the international organizations and countries supporting the media to pay serious attention to the media in Afghanistan," Hujatullah Mujadid, a member of the Afghan Journalists’ Federation, told Tolo News.
