Golden Triangle women display products at Jara Market

Nineteen women artisans and women entrepreneurs from Petra, Wadi Rum, and Disaa participated in the GARA Market in Amman to showcase and promote their handmade products, supporting and empowering women from the southern regions. This initiative is a collaboration between the Old Amman Neighborhood Community Association "GARA," the Jordan River Foundation, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, and the Petra Regional Tourism Development Authority. The event lasted for one day. The women from the Golden Triangle showcased traditional crafts such as embroidery, weaving, and wool knitting. Some participants requested the organization of a similar market in Aqaba to strengthen the presence of their products, especially during the winter season, aiming to sustain their manual work and boost local tourism. The Jordan River Foundation emphasizes that the women's participation is part of capacity-building and marketing programs, which contribute to improving livelihoods and promoting economic development within the local community.
