Survivors From Myanmar Opening Tailoring Shops


More stories from Myanmar - where 8 out of 10 cases - women are trafficked as brides and another 20 percent are trafficked to birth babies.

Much like the last post - these stories of survivors sound very familiar.  At this end of this article, you will see these women are being rehabilitated and back into community life while learning a trade and getting ready to open their own business as a Tailoring Shop.

In less than a year, the program has already trained 125 trafficking survivors, women in at-risk communities and in Internally Displaced Peoples camps and villages, imparting financial management and marketing skills, linking beneficiaries to training centers and markets, and providing business start-up grants once training is complete.

This is part of the UN Women Program and the article in its entirety can be read here:
