My name is Malina Hamidi, an Afghan entrepreneur and women’s advocate committed to empowering women in Afghanistan. I founded a garment business that provides employment, skills, and financial independence to women who are often the sole providers for their families. As an active member of the Afghanistan Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry, I hold the position of Economic Defender, advocating for women’s entrepreneurship and inclusion. I have represented Afghan women entrepreneurs in national and international exhibitions, and my work has been recognized by the President of the Herat Chamber of Commerce. Through education, mentorship, and advocacy, I strive to uplift my community, inspire change, and ensure the voices of Afghan women are heard globally.
