Paris exhibition in celebration of China-France cultural exchange
Tang Zhanxin, a representative of the "Beautiful Crafts Workshop", shared her journey of how she became involved with the initiative. She recounted how the workshop has enabled many disabled women in China to secure employment and improve their livelihoods.
"My colleagues and I have traveled from Beijing to the romantic city of Paris. We're here not only to support our athletes but also with the hopeful intention of seeking more cooperation and support," she said.
The "Beautiful Crafts Workshop" initiative was jointly launched by the China Disabled Persons' Federation and the All-China Women's Federation in 2022.
The program supports handicraft businesses and organizations that enable women with disabilities to work from home or nearby locations.
Over the next three years, China plans to establish 100 "Beautiful Crafts Workshops", providing jobs to 10,000 women with disabilities.
The exhibition will run for three days.
