Baghlan Women Tailoring Center

My name is Hamida Sediqi from Central Baghlan District, Baghlan Province. With over 14 years of experience in tailoring and traditional handicrafts, I started the Baghlan Women Tailoring Center in 2019 with limited capital but strong determination. Today, our shop in Pashtunistan Square employs eight staff members — most of them women, including widows and those in need — and we're training 87 students in two centers. Inspired by my mother and aunt, I turned my passion for handicrafts into a mission: to empower women, preserve Afghan culture, and create sustainable livelihoods.
