Minara Begum's story reflects the reality of hundreds of thousands of women caught in one of the world's fastest growing refugee crises. Minara was just 24 years old when she and with her family traversed unimaginable hardships to find safety in the Cox's Bazar refugee camp in Bangladesh. But safety is still a relative term for her. On her list of priorities are income-generating opportunities, better food and education for her daughter, and a secure place to live when the rains come. Since attending UN Women's Centre at the camp, Minara has learnt to tailor and is building a social network as an outreach worker. She encourages other women and girls to come to UN Women's Centres to learn, stay safe and build a community. She also helps pregnant women reach relief distribution points and carries relief items for them. She has learned to speak up and now presents the issues of other Rohingya women refugees to the authorities in charge of the day-to-day management of the camp.

Please support Angela and Vivacity to raise funds for this cause, helping refugees to change their life for good.
