VOA常速英语:Tired of Unemployment, Kashmir Women Decide to Open Their Online Business

The resistance movement in Indian-administered Kashmir resurfaced on a major scale in the summer of 2016.Over the past few years separatists have called for frequent curfews and shutdowns, disrupting the routine lives of locals in the area.But one young woman Beenish wanted to improve her life.“There are so many things that girls can do, everyone has their own skills.When you have yearning to do something, no one can stop you.”Earning a living is a major challenge for the educated youth here.
印度统治的克什米尔地区在2016年夏季重兴起了大规模抵抗运动。在过去几年里，分裂主义分子经常性的要求实行宵禁和停工，以此干扰该地区当地居民的日常生活。但是这位年轻女性贝尼什想改善她的生活。女孩子可以做很多事情，每个人都有自己的技能。当你渴望做某事时，没有人能阻止你。对于在这里受过教育的年轻人来说，谋生是一大挑战。

Indian-administered Kashmir has India’s highest unemployment rate and more than 12 percent,according to a recent survey by the centre for monitoring Indian economy and the Bombay Stock Exchange.“We realized that getting jobs in Kashmir has become difficult, you have to go through a lot of struggle to get a job,so we decided to stand up on our own feet.We said let us explore our aptitude and do something on our own.”Beenish and others working with her started producing novelty items that are not available elsewhere.They use social media to boost their business,
印度管辖的克什米尔地区的失业率居印度之首，超过百分之十二，印度经济监测中心和孟买证券交易所最近的一项调查如此显示。我们觉得在克什米尔找份工作很困难，必须得经过很多努力才能找到一份工作，所以我们决定靠自己。就说，发掘一下自己的实力看看凭自己能做点什么。贝尼什和其他同事一起着手生产别处没有的新奇物件。她们利用社交媒体来推动业务，

the group boosted their sales once they developed a presence on social media with their ‘Craft World Kashmir’ pages on Instagram and Facebook,since then the group sales are about 1000 dollars a month.“I was working as a teacher at a private school to which my parents had no objection, when we then thought to do something different.In fact it was our parents who encouraged us, when they saw our hard work.”Labor department officials in Indian-administered Kashmir said there are as many as 87000 registered unemployed youth in the Kashmir Valley alone.The government is working on a number of programmes aimed at helping the young entrepreneurs, officials say.“There are plenty of efforts by the government to create new ways to create jobs, so there are multiple things going on.But there is an impact of peace process until there is stability the unemployment won’t be able to be adjusted.
在Ins和Facebook上的创建了自己的主页‘克什米尔手工世界’，自那时候起她们的销售额大约就在每月1000美元。我当时在一所私立学校当老师，我的父母并不反对我们做些不同的事情。事实上，当我们的父母看到我们的努力时，是他们给了我们鼓励。印控克什米尔的劳工部官员说，仅在克什米尔山谷就有多达87000名登记失业的青年。政府正在制定一系列计划，旨在帮助年轻的企业家。官方称。政府在创造新的就业机会方面做了大量的努力，因此有很多事情要做。但是，和平进程会对就业率产生影响，在地区稳定之前失业率是无法调整的。
