Discover how women in refugee and marginalized communities are reclaiming their dignity through fair trade, craft, and tradition. In this week’s episode, I sit down with Mitos Urgel, President & CEO of WFTO Asia and founder of WEAVE Fair Trade Enterprise. For decades, Mitos has worked alongside indigenous, refugee, and under-resourced women across Asia, helping create dignified livelihoods through fair trade, sustainable enterprise, and community-led development.
Mitos shares what happens when women are given real market access, and how preserving traditional crafts can build modern pathways to income. She also reflects on scaling impact across cultures, navigating humanitarian crises, and what economic justice truly requires.
