The Agricultural Development Association (PARC), in partnership with Taawon, organized the “Her Hands, Her Story” exhibition in Nablus, showcasing authentic Palestinian women’s products from various villages and rural areas targeted within the project “Enhancing the Resilience of Palestinian Households in Rural Communities in the West Bank through Livelihood and Protection Interventions”. The project is funded by Danish Muslim Aid and implemented by PARC in partnership with Taawon.
The exhibition reflected the stories of Palestinian women who successfully transformed their passion and skills into small productive projects, helping to support their families and strengthen the local economy.
The event drew wide participation, including representatives from Taawon and its Director General, PARC represented by its Board of Directors and Director General, in addition to representatives from Nablus Municipality, the Medical Relief Society, the Civil Defense, Ard Company, Jerusalem Center, as well as a group of staff members and volunteers. The exhibition also attracted a large number of visitors who toured its various sections, where the participants showcased their food products such as honey, thyme, pickles of all kinds, and both Arabic and Western sweets.
The 22 participating women emphasized that the exhibition was more than just a marketplace. It was a platform to share powerful stories of success and resilience, and a clear message about the pivotal role of Palestinian women in driving production, sustaining their communities, and building a better future.
The exhibition aims to encourage consumers to support locally made women-led products and to highlight the importance of investing in women’s capacities as a cornerstone of Palestine’s economic and social development.
