Manjeen Handicrafts is an Organization with a vision to promote an alternative trade System in the form of fair Trade on Grass root levels to bring structural changes in the contemporary mode of Trade, and increase the choice among the marginalized artisans and their families for the quality of life,Education to their children and quality working conditions. And establish socio-economic balance among the artisans’ community. Manjeen Handicrafts joined this movement by selling the fairly produced handicrafts products to local markets and participating in the local festival fairs,but this approach is confined for a couple of months and didn´t yield much to carry this vision in longer term.

However, Fair Trade movement has a strong foothold in West, but in India still it has to make its strong presence felt. Therefore, Fair Trade Movement can be used as a tool to improve the quality of life of marginalized traditional artisans and their community. In this process of effort Manjeen Handicrafts came forward to support effectively Fair trade Movement in Northern Part of India along with some of the producer groups from different craft-lines.To us empowering women implies making a positive impact on their economic life (income and earning potential) and their personal lives (self-esteem and influence on family decisions). It also means giving them equal priority on wage levels, decision-making and labour standards. Offering them financial stability, steady work, healthy working conditions, skill improvement trainings etc enables us to eliminate gender inequalities
