"Previously [before the Taliban takeover] about 10% of educated women in Afghanistan worked in national or international organisations to support their children. If less educated, they had a range of formal and informal jobs including working as housemaids, baking bread, washing clothes, cleaning bathrooms and babysitting, and in rural communities rearing small livestock and growing wheat, maize and vegetables" (para 6). 10% of educated women means that there are far more educated women who do not work, implying a societal norm of men working rather than women (CEC - CODER COMMENT).
