Employment program for disabled women debuts at cultural fair

An employment project for disabled women has made its debut at the 20th China International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF) in Shenzhen City of south China's Guangdong Province, showcasing the talented works of many who have overcome adversity to create high-quality cultural items.

The program, dubbed the "beauty workshop," is jointly sponsored by the China Disabled Persons' Federation, the All-China Women's Federation and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the items created through the initiative are taking their place among the more than 120,000 exhibits on display at the five-day fair.

The workshop features a wealth of exquisite handicrafts including various elegant embroideries, the traditional costumes of minority groups, Beijing silk figurines, the Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting practice known as Thangka and other eye-catching paintings made with fish skin and straws, all of which are attracting a host of visitors.

This year's ICIF has seen more than 6,000 representatives from governments, cultural institutions, and enterprises from all around the world participating both online and offline, a near 60 percent increase over the previous session.

Since its establishment in 2004, the ICIF has grown in terms of scale, participation, and trading outcomes, making it an important engine to promote the development of China's cultural industries.
