Project Description:

 

CEP is an impact result of the Women Empowerment Project (WEP). Since 1998, ADRA Bangladesh is working with poor communities to empower women and men in Mymensingh. As Bangladesh women are often deprived of their rights and suffering from domestic violence, sexual harassment, and discrimination and it remains in the area of Mymensingh. In this circumstance, ADRA Bangladesh took the initiative to empower women through the formation of unity and self-reliant oriented approach for sustainable development. Considering the conservativeness and religion-based society in Mymensingh district and also based on the vulnerability and deprive situation, ADRA Bangladesh has sorted out these Gouripur and Muktagacha Upazila of Mymensingh for long-lasting development of the communities through Women Empowerment Project (WEP). Based on the achievement of WEP, ADRA gives priority to the beneficiaries/stakeholders' needs and demands for their sustainable development through the permanent solution using optimally of their local resources and designing Community Empowerment Project.
