Halabja- Many people become unemployed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Some have to work for a low wage while some spend their days looking for a job. A group of women in Halabja launched a project called the Project of İom Group to earn their living by producing face masks and aprons for health care workers. The women began to work at 7 am every day.

“Women work six hours every day”

The project was launched by three women. Rojin Xusrew is one of them. “Women work six hours every day to earn a living. We send the produced masks to schools and hospitals.”

“We work to earn a living”

“We sew different sizes of face masks. We don’t waste any pieces of fabric. We use all pieces to sew face masks for children and adults. We work here to earn a living,” said Geşaw Seid, one of the women making face masks.
