Description
Rhombus design purse, 17 x 12 various colours, made by Bethlehem Arab Women’s Union: Most of our beautiful embroidered items are made by 100 women working at home, bringing the work to be washed and finished at BAWU. Lack of tourism has resulted in a severe drop in sales and marketing is severely limited as travel permits to Jerusalem are rarely given. BAWU maintains a Folklore Museum. “When you give work to people you give them life and courage and produce peace.”The Separation Wall built around the city cuts off 70% of Bethlehem’s land.
