Kuzuzangpo and welcome to our website.
Founded by Her Majesty the Queen Ashi Sangay Choden Wangchuck, in
2004, RENEW (Respect, Educate, Nurture and Empower Women) is a non-governmental
organization (NGO) dedicated to empowerment of women and girls in
Bhutan, especially the disadvantaged, with a special focus on victims
of domestic violence and sexual assault.
RENEW firmly believes that gender-based violence stands in the
way of achieving gender equality. Hence it campaigns to prevent
and eradicate GBV in pursuit of its mission to better the lives
of disadvantaged women and girls and help integrate them back into
their communities as independent, socially and economically productive
members of society.
RENEW actively promotes gender equality through every aspect of
its work. While its team of Counselors and a lawyer work day and
night to network with the hospital, police and courts to provide
support services to victims of domestic violence and rape; RENEW’s
Community Outreach Unit links up with the various clusters of committed
volunteers in the communities to advocate against and raise awareness
on gender-based violence issues.
Together the RENEW team is constantly exploring and testing new
ideas to find meaningful ways to nurture, support and empower women
and girls especially those who are dependent, disadvantaged and
trapped in helpless circumstances. Need-based provision of vocational
training in selected skills and micro-enterprises as a way of providing
opportunities to help transform lives of many women, and a fully
equipped temporary home(emergency shelter) alongside specialized
counseling form part of the core services that RENEW currently has
on offer to its beneficiaries.
