Syrian businesswomen are using a major textile exhibition to find new international buyers for their handmade fashion.
They are participating in the Motex Khan al-Harir fair at Damascus Exhibition City. Their goal is to create export opportunities for women-led businesses.
This effort builds on a recent successful forum called "Basmett Fan" (Art Imprint). That event was dedicated to supporting women's creativity and small-scale entrepreneurship.
The businesswomen are showcasing handcrafted garments and goods. They aim to expand their reach beyond the local market.
