It is what survives it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA woman from a new group at Alsama Studio in Shatila, Beirut, made this piece. The women are Syrian and Palestinian refugees who came to Alsama to learn embroidery, and this hoop comes from that training. With every stitch she learns something new, and every piece she finishes brings her closer to steady, paid work with the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach piece you buy pays for one woman's training.\u003c\/strong\u003e It builds her pathway to an income.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat matters. Jobs for women in Shatila are hard to find. A skill in her hands is something no one can take away. It means income and independence, and a place in a circle of women who hold each other up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the heart of our Joy is Resistance collection. The world told people to fear these women. They sat together and answered with colour. Choosing joy after everything they have lived through is not small.
