In #ShibarValley, a lush farm belt deep in central #Afghanistan, women have been the organizing force behind a new wave of small village farm unions. Their leadership seems to have inspired some changes, beyond the farm. These women are no longer greeted as the mother of Ahmad or the wife of Mahmoud, but rather “union leader Gul Bahar” or “deputy union leader Reza Gul.” In addition to finding new status and empowerment, they’re are also joining the front lines of a critical struggle: the effort to shape a sustainable Afghan economy, away from dependence on foreign aid. 80% of the Afghan population — and about 90% of the poor — live in rural communities, so agriculture is central to countering widespread malnutrition in remote areas as well as to creating sustainable jobs. While on #nytassignment in the Shibar Valley in #BamianProvince, Afghanistan last month, @adamfergusonphoto photographed 2 women, who are part of a farmers union. Visit the link in the profile to read about how the unions have helped ensure a more reliable and diverse food supply in an often famine-struck region, while also empowering its female leadership.
