The Azadi Project partnered with Ummid Ki Udan in New Delhi to carry out a storytelling, leadership, and psychosocial support program from May 2022 – June 2022. During phase 1, a trained female group facilitator held five sessions for 15 Rohingya refugee women and local community women who currently reside in New Delhi, in Khadar (?anchan ?unj, Shram Vihar).
The workshop focused on the art of storytelling and its therapeutic benefits, by creating a safe space for the beneficiaries to interact in. Through this, it aimed to sensitize and create awareness about gender-based violence, trafficking, child marriage, women’s health and hygiene issues and create women and men leaders within the refugee camp to disseminate this knowledge further.
