Context
In Myanmar, gender inequality and women’s exposure to violence, harassment, and abuse are not only critical risks but also a major obstacle to national development and peace-building. For the vision of a modern, developed and democratic Myanmar to become a reality, it is essential that women and girls have full access to education, training, and economic opportunities and that their leadership capacities are strengthened to enable them to participate in general decision-making.
Our action
FXB Myanmar’s protection program “Women and Girls First”, conducted in partnership with UNFPA in Burma’s seven states, aims to prevent gender-based violence and to inform and train women, girls, and adolescents from ethnic minorities and other vulnerable and marginalized groups – including those affected by conflict – in sexual and reproductive health.
