Duration : 10 Dec 2023 To 15 Dec 2023

Location: Amal Foundation

Migrant women from the Rohingya community who are marginalized confront several obstacles, including as restricted access to job, healthcare, and educational possibilities. They are more susceptible to violence against women, do not have proper housing, and suffer from the stress of being uprooted. It is imperative to tackle these concerns in order to enhance the welfare and empowerment of this underprivileged group.

The action “Courage Skill Center” taken was the establishment of the Courage Skill Centre in the Leda Refugee Camp of Teknaf. Additionally, 149 women from this centre had been engaged in productive activities such as making sarees with block printing as well as crafting necklaces, bracelets, and earrings from wood. These handcrafted items had been sold by the platform named ‘Azowa’.
