In collaboration with the Irida Women’s Center, Beyond Words International has launched Women Without Barriers, a project to support refugee artisans in marketing and in-turn selling their artwork and products through our new Etsy store! 

The arts are proven to be a powerful tool for stress relief, trauma recovery, and positive expression. This project will provide the artists with income-generation opportunities, as well as allow them to express themselves through art. Proceeds from the project will go directly to the artists, as well as fund a part-time art teacher to continue training women at the Irida Women’s Center and provide classes to refugee youth in Thessaloniki, Greece.

We’d love for you to read more about the Irida Center, here!
