Environment Friendly Farming Improves Gender and Economic Equality for Women

To diversify livelihoods and improve women’s economic freedom, UNDP has implemented several projects across Herat districts in Afghanistan, including 6 raisin houses, 10 greenhouses, 1 apiary, and kitchen gardens for 30 women. This video tells the story of Ghuncha Gul, a woman farmer fondly known as ‘honey’ by her fellow villagers as she keeps bees to make honey and manages a greenhouse.
