The Double Challenge: Promoting Empowerment for Women with Disabilities in Bangladesh

Women with disability face a double layer of discrimination: one based on gender and one based on ability. In Bangladesh, this challenge can be particularly acute, limiting access to accessible education, employment, and basic rights. The Adamya Foundation has dedicated programs focused on the unique needs of women, driving their empowerment and promoting their inclusion in all spheres of life.

Our specialized skill development and entrepreneurship training are key to economic independence for this vulnerable group. Your support helps fund these life-changing programs. Please donate to make a difference. We believe in strong advocacy to protect their rights. Keep up with our news on policy changes.

We seek female mentors to volunteer their time and inspire the next generation of leaders. External resource: The UN Women page on Disability Rights outlines the global framework for addressing the intersectional challenges. Focusing on education support for girls with disabilities is vital for their long-term empowerment and subsequent employment opportunities.

The Adamya Foundation understands that the path to disability inclusion for women and girls in Bangladesh is more complex. We not only tackle the barriers posed by the disability itself but also the traditional gender-based expectations that restrict women's access to public spaces and the workforce.

Specialized Programming and Support

Our programs are tailored to address these double challenges:

• Entrepreneurship Training: Specialized skill development programs for women with disabilities that teach them to start small businesses and become self-reliant.
• Leadership and Advocacy: Training women to speak up for their rights and participate in policy-making discussions. Through this advocacy, they become inspirations for inclusion in Bangladesh.
• Physical and Mental Health: Ensuring accessibility to healthcare and counseling, which are often neglected for women.

Education Support and Employment Opportunities

Quality accessible education for girls is the foundation of their future empowerment. The Adamya Foundation works to reduce the dropout rate for girls, providing them with education support that helps them complete secondary and higher education. This educational background is what opens the door to profitable employment for them.

To support this critical work, we are looking for female volunteers who can serve as mentors and help develop our training modules. Your support will directly make a difference in the lives of women with disabilities in Bangladesh. Your donation goes directly toward a woman's training and path to employment.
