Our Embroidery is Alive – Every Stitch Tells a Story
In the besieged land of Gaza, where every day is a battle for survival, the idea of “Venus Palestine” was born as a self-funded initiative to empower Palestinian women by reviving our heritage through the traditional art of embroidery. Each piece of these handcrafted works is not just a product; it’s a story, a dream, and a collective effort by the women of Gaza, who work with precision, love, and dedication to preserve our rich culture.
At first, our vision was simple: to introduce the world to the beauty and richness of Palestinian heritage and to highlight the enormous role that Palestinian women play in passing down this legacy from generation to generation. But over time, our project became more than just embroidery; it became a symbol of resistance and resilience, and a source of hope for a group of 25 women and 3 men who, in the face of relentless challenges, found in this craft a way to improve their lives and strengthen social solidarity.
Exporting these products from Gaza has been an enormous challenge. It can take months to obtain clearance from Israeli authorities to ship even a simple box of these handcrafted items. Despite these obstacles, we persevered for three years, and today, we are proud to offer these authentic handmade embroideries for sale.
When you purchase one of our products, you are not just buying a piece of embroidery; you are supporting a story, a history, and a heritage, while encouraging a group of Palestinian women to continue their journey toward economic independence and empowerment.
Please help us spread the word by sharing our story and products on your social media pages.
Thank you so much for your support and solidarity
