Threads of Joy: Gulizar’s Passion for Weaving

Gulizar, a talented artisan from Khanke, Duhok, weaves custom rugs at FYF’s Enterprise and Training Center.

Gulizar’s journey has been one of resilience, navigating the challenges of ISIS’ attacks on her community. Following the Yezidi Genocide, she found purpose working alongside survivors and displaced individuals from Sinjar, building bonds and sharing stories of hope and hardship.

Gulizar’s passion for her craft remains unwavering. Crafting these carpets isn’t just a livelihood—it’s a cherished tradition she hopes will endure for generations to come.
