Amnesty Handmade Christmas Decoration - Candle

Beautifully handmade Amnesty International candle Christmas decoration, crafted by fair trade artisans using brass with a hammered finish.

These Christmas decorations were designed and made especially for Amnesty by women from the Flowering Desert project in India in collaboration with Just Trade UK. The women, many of whom have escaped exploitation and are no strangers to what it means to have no voice, are thrilled to be working on this collection for Amnesty.

The training and fairly paid employment opportunities at Flowering Desert offer a way for the women to increase their skills and future work possibilities, often bringing them a status in their society for the first time.

Since Just Trade started working with Flowering Desert in 2010, more than thirty additional women have been trained in order to keep up with their orders.
