The Afghan women farmers keeping their hamlet alive
In a remote territory of northeastern Afghanistan, women farmers are playing a vital role in their community’s survival among the snow-capped mountains.
The fields of Eshtiwi show only the first faint signs of expansion in June, with small green sprouts emerging around the hamlet.
Habiba, who spoke to AFP while busy weeding, is proud to have been farming in Nuristan territory for decades.
"Since I was eight years old, I’ve been going to the field with my mother," stated the 46-year-old, who only has one name.
"When we harvest wheat, beans, potatoes and corn in the fields in autumn and bring them back home, we feel happy," she further stated.
