The Palaung Women’s Organisation (PWO)
“PWO believes that reconizing women rights and women participation in different level of political and social tasks is one of the processes of building a just society”
Organizational Profile
The Palaung Women’s Organisation (PWO) was established in 2000 in response to the dearth of women actively participating within other Palaung organizations. Cultural factors determined that men had greater access to training, better English language and computer skills, greater self-confidence and more leadership opportunities.
PWO was formed with the intention of educating and empowering women so that they could develop and strengthen their own self-determination and achieve equality of participation.
PWO provides gender and human rights training to Palaung women and their communities; increases international and community knowledge of the Palaung people, their history and cultures; and raises awareness of the human rights abuses suffered by the Palaung people.
Mission
PWO is an organization to empower and advance the social status of Palaung women towards equility, peace and just society.
