Driving Policy Change for a Thriving Craft Future

Kashmir Craft Policy Campaigns

Our Policy Campaigns are designed to mobilize support for key issues affecting the Kashmiri handicraft industry. By building coalitions of stakeholders, including policymakers, business leaders, and craft advocacy organizations, we drive legislative and public awareness campaigns that aim to shape the future of the craft industry.

Campaign Objectives

  • Combating Counterfeiting: Raising public and governmental awareness on the economic damage caused by counterfeit goods and pushing for stricter anti-counterfeit legislation.

  • Promoting Fair Trade: Advocating for fair trade certifications and policies that ensure equitable treatment and fair compensation for Kashmiri artisans in the global market.

  • Sustainability Campaigns: Encouraging policies that promote the use of sustainable materials and eco-friendly production methods to preserve the environment while maintaining craft traditions.
