Hand knitted stuffed animals crafted by Yezidi female genocide survivors

Since 2014, FYF has been responding to the acute protection needs of Yezidi survivors, IDPs, and marginalized women.

FYF’s Enterprise and Training Center (ETC) in Khanke, Duhok sustainably empowers women to reduce their vulnerabilities through skills training, jobs placement, and income generation activities. At the ETC, female artisans are trained in crafting and marketing one-of-a-kind items, including the Chonky Animals product line of hand knitted stuffed animals.
