Online platform to network rural women with international designers
3-5-2018
In partnership with UN Women, and with the support of the Global Compact Network Lebanon, the Blessings Foundation launched yesterday its ‘She Min Lebnen’ initiative under the patronage of prime minister Saad Hariri. According to Rima Husseini from Blessings, the purpose of the project is to empower rural women through the provision of professional and technical mentorship. The initiative aims to network women artisans and artists in rural areas with international designers through targeted workshops in order to create innovative designs and sell them in Lebanon and abroad via the online platform: SheMinlebnen.com, she said. Hariri, for his part, emphasized the pivotal role of women in various realms, stressing the need to step up their rights and promote their presence in politics and in the workplace. To note, ‘SheMinLebnen’ is the first electronic portal created to foster exchange between talented rural women here in Lebanon and famous names in design to the end of refining production and enabling it to meet the labor market requirements. The virtual portal extends a space to display the creations and e-market them locally and globally. (Al Mustaqbal, May 3, 2018)
