la mano - ethical textiles works directly with women's cooperatives, indigenous organizations and small-scale cottage industry, engaging in fair and direct trade of high quality, handwoven textiles.

We prioritize working with indigenous women in particular, supporting their efforts in establishing their economic autonomy & sustainability, and empowering women to take on leadership roles and build capacity. Some of the education, consciousness-raising and capacity building that la mano supports through its work with indigenous women includes:

Anti-violence education, sexual and reproductive health, women's and indigenous peoples' rights, cooperative management and administration, recuperation of traditional designs & their meaning, learning how to use natural medicines...
