Development of Handicrafts Project in Syunik Region of Armenia
2 October 2015
In 2009, the OSCE Office in Yerevan supported the establishment of Women’s Resource Centres in three main cities of Syunik region – Goris, Kapan and Meghri – with the purpose of advancing women’s economic and political empowerment. Handicraft clubs were opened within these three centres and recently another handicraft studio was established in Sisian. Overall, around 120 women are now involved in these clubs making carpets, pottery, crochet, and needlework products.
