Strong Woman Speaking Out for Gender Equality

[Bangla with English subtitle] Monorwara is a community outreach volunteer and Rohingya refugee and survivor who fled from Myanmar in 2017. The community outreach volunteers provide critical information to refugees about the prevention of gender-based violence and sexual exploitation and abuse, where to seek help when women and girls experience violence, as well as disaster preparedness since Bangladesh is at heightened risk of climate disasters such as floods and cyclones.

Monowara showed her gratitude to the UN Women Australia and Trek for Rights participants who raised funds to support Rohingya women and girls in the Rohingya camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Trek for Rights is UN Women Australia's annual fund-raising campaign.
