Women Demand Mobility: Documenting Local Women’s Experience in the Village of Maghar

The Women Demand Mobility project initiated by Kayan started in the village of Maghar―by women who were fed up trying to find a way to get to a weekly Kayan meeting, since there was no public transport within the community (20,000 pop.). The local women decided to address this issue and after organizing for one year, on January 2005, they celebrated the initiation of a bus service in Maghar. The Kayan project helped build women leaders and the capacity to work together as a group. It provided skills to maintain a viable women’s group that was action oriented.
