Gender Inequalities

Kachin women’s voices heard

The men and women displaced by the ongoing conflict in Kachin and living in camps for internally displace people (IDP) are struggling with a lack of employment and livelihood. With nothing but an assistance of 11,000 Myanmar Kyat (US$7) for each family’s monthly food budget through the World Food Programme (WFP) Cash-for-Food programme, life has been hard. The continuously rising food prices makes the monthly food budget insufficient to feed an average family.
