Their skills are known throughout the world. Afghan carpets are defined by using local, all natural materials, mostly wool, dyed bright colours with ornate and symmetric designs. Designs and symbols used to be tribe specific. Women continue to dominate this industry but face low wages, health risks, and abuses. Drawing attention to the abuses women face further the United Nation's Sustainable Development goal of encouraging gender equality. Carpet weaving is an important source of revenue for many women, and they deserve safe and healthy working conditions to earn a livable wage.
