Damascus countryside (ST): With the support of the Syria Trust for Development and the local council in the city of Moadamiyat al-Sham, 33 women participated in the bazaar, which opened in al-Majd hall in the city, to market and display their products, which varied between food and household items, clothes, shoes, accessories, gifts, textile recycling, and other products, some of which were the result of a grant they received or training they underwent it to establish micro-enterprises.

The bazaar, which is held as part of a 16-day campaign to combat gender-based violence over two days, attracted visitors of different ages from Moadamiya and elsewhere.

Craftswoman Suha Khudair explained to news reporter that she was able to develop her work in the field of crochet and the manufacture of accessories and wax in a short period, and the hobby turned into a major craft that helped her improve her living, and expand her production and marketing through her participation in exhibitions and bazaars supported by the Syrian Trust for Development, noting that she was later accredited as a trainer for these crafts in institutes, and she cooperated with the secretariat in the Qatana community lighthouse to train male and female students who became more skilled than her in making accessories. She also cooperated with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization “UNESCO” and the Ministry of Tourism on crochet training.

The motor disability did not prevent engineer Samia Al-Sayed from training a group of women with disabilities to learn how to work with a hook through the creation of the “knitting project” with the participation of a number of women, through working in homes and marketing through social media or participating in bazaars to which the Syria Trust for Development invites her , stressing that participating in such bazaars is an opportunity to display and market their products.
