Background - Scope of works

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organization working in Myanmar since 2009 in response to cyclone Giri and currently supporting operations in four different States (Kachin, Northern Shan, Kayah, Rakhine). DRC expanded its program to include the provision of shelter, WASH, NFIs, livelihood support and community assistance to the people affected by the June and October 2012 events in Rakhine State. DRC aims to make available immediate relief and protection to displaced people and vulnerable host communities in an impartial, inclusive and neutral manner, adhering to DRC’s Code of Conduct and core Humanitarian Principles.

Research has shown that women, in both Rakhine and Muslim villages are disproportionately affected by issues such as displacement and conflicts, and face additional issues such as increased risk of GBV, extremely limited economic opportunities and higher likelihood engaging in harmful coping strategies. Muslim women in particular face multiple threats to their safety in their homes (camp) and in the community.

 Income generating activities are important for women as they help with their empowerment and self sufficiency..DRC intends to provide participants with a program to give them skills to make products that are used at home and could be sold in the community. .
