Women overcoming domestic violence, abuse, poverty, and addictions experienced increased PTSD and emotional health issues The influx of refugees from Afghanistan increased language barriers and access to resources We deepened and extended our local program in 2022 to help our artisans overcome the following barriers to success and succeeded in serving more women globally than ever before.
