Goris, Syunik 📍 🇦🇲 In response to the attacks & bombing by Azerbaijan on Armenian sovereign territory, the courageous women of the atelier in the border city of Goris, region chose to gather today, Saturday. 🪡🧵This is one of the many ways the local population is currently resisting: by not allowing the enemy’s aggression and intimidation to prevent them from carrying out their daily work. You can support these determined women by placing an order at the link in bio.

Displaced women from Artsakh and native women from Goris work together in the sewing atelier not just as a way to secure a living, but also as a therapy. Yesterday's attack on Goris, the explosion, and the sirens put great stress on women who are still healing from the trauma of the 2020 war. Today, as a result of the persistent threat from the attacks, they will stay home with their families. In the meanwhile, they are waiting for the aggression to stop as soon as possible so they can return to the warm environment of the atelier and continue healing together. Purchasing one of their handmade bags is a way to show your support. Check the link below to place an order.
