Today, we joyfully inaugurated the Multipurpose Women Center (MPWC) at Rajapalong Union, Ukhiya — a meaningful step forward in empowering women and fostering inclusive community development. This center has been established by RW Welfare Society (RWWS) in partnership with UN Women Bangladesh, with generous support from SIDA and the Government of Japan.

The event was graced by community women, adolescents, RWWS team members, our esteemed Advisors Ms. Razia Sultana and Ms. Munia Sultana, along with our Executive Director Professor Dr. Mohammed Nizam Uddin.

Together, we celebrate this new beginning and remain committed to building resilient, inclusive communities where every woman can thrive.

“Conflict can divide communities, but unity has the power to prevent it. When people stand together, support one another, and respect each other, peace becomes possible.” said Sumaiya Akter during our 2-Day Workshop on Literacy, Numeracy & Peacebuilding.

Through group dialogue and shared learning, Sumaiya reflected on how unity can act as a shield — bringing people together before conflict can divide them.

Her insight reminds us that peacebuilding isn't just about solving problems, but about strengthening relationships and building trust before problems arise.

Thank you, Sumaiya, for seeing peace not only as a goal — but as a shared way of living. 🤝

🌿 Day 6: A New Beginning and a Powerful Visit 🌿

Today wasn’t just another training day — it was a day filled with renewed energy, inspiration, and heartfelt encouragement.

After completing their first bamboo creation — the traditional Lai — our participants stepped confidently into the next chapter of their journey: crafting a Vegetable Basket. 🧺🥬
With every cut, weave, and knot, they are learning not just a skill, but building their path to independence and pride.

But what made today truly special was the presence of those who believe in this journey.

📢 30 Years On: The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action

Razia Sultana, UN Women Civil Society Advisory Group member and Founder of Rights of Women Welfare Society, reminds us that asking for rights is not seeking sympathy — it’s claiming what is deserved. True progress begins with equal presence of women.
