Our Mission
Driven by the passion and commitment of its founders, Amani and Rula, Venus Palestine began with a small community of 25 women and 3 men, who remain the backbone of the organization. Despite the ongoing siege in Gaza, we have succeeded in reaching you through this exclusive store in Europe, offering you beautiful embroidered pieces stitched with the traditional Palestinian peasant technique, as practiced by our ancestors. Each stitch carries a story, and every product embodies the spirit of Palestine.
About Us
Venus Palestine was born in Gaza, founded by Amani and Rula, colleagues at Doctors of the World France in the Gaza Strip. Their work focused on organizing educational seminars for Palestinian women in the areas of public health, child health, and family health. Local community associations, often located outside primary health care centers, became hubs where women could gather, learn, and support each other. These spaces also provided workshops to teach women valuable handicraft skills, empowering them to earn a livelihood and support their families. It was from these workshops that Venus Palestine was conceived.
