Myanmar is the largest country in Southeast Asia and shares borders with five nations. Political crises have had catastrophic effects for Myanmar’s people.
The country has one of the highest rates of human trafficking in the world, and yet there are few services for victims.
Hagar has worked in Myanmar since 2014, building the capacity of local organisations to help survivors of human trafficking, slavery, and abuse to heal and rebuild their lives.
YKWBA, Hagar’s partner organization in Myanmar empowered 270 community members to eliminate gender-based violence. People of all ages joined the awareness-raising workshops in two communities. Workshop leaders helped attendees know the signs and types of violence and how to keep their communities safe.
