Rohingya Health Assistant Training Project

Building Futures: Sociocultural Effects of an Empowerment Initiative

for Young Displaced Rohingya Women

Using interview methods that provide insight into the meanings that participants give to their circumstances, this research will illuminate the influence of education and training of young Rohingya women on sociocultural factors including female empowerment, gendered norms, attitudes toward women, family-decision making, and community dynamics. A socioecological framework will allow for the

examination of interrelationships among individuals in and across various

interdependent systems such as families, communities, society, and culture.
