Empowering Women and Spreading Smiles in Bangladesh



'An Art of Living Initiative: End Violence against Women & to Empower them'.

In Satkira, one of the most affected areas in Bangladesh where women are affected with trafficking & sexual violence, the Art of Living Foundation Bangladesh have reached out 250 affected women who are extremely poor and affected with all kinds of violence with the help of NGO Biswas foundation. The special 3 day Trauma Relief Program set permanent smiles on sad, brooding faces stuck with the uncertainty of life. At the beginning of the program, they were so restless, that they just couldn't sit down for few minutes! But at the end of the session, all of them were in one voice told us that the session was so powerful that they feel strong peace in their mind with a new ray of hope towards life.

The Art of Living Foundation, Bangladesh is committed to support them towards self-reliance by providing them skill training through the self-help groups already created. This project will start with training them in tailoring and providing them with machines & also helping them to sell their products.

Another excellent example, how H.H Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji's programs cuts across cultures, religion and countries Healing Lives, Helping underprivileged & vulnerable section of society providing them a new direction in life.

Enclosed are some photos of the program.
