Women's Empowerment Through Involvement of Men and CBSS

RENEW envisages being the leading institution in the nation for shaping the role of women in Bhutanese society and has as its mission "To empower disadvantaged girls and women in Bhutan and integrate them back into their own communities as independent, socially and economically productive members of the society." The main beneficiaries of RENEW are out of school adolescent girls; disadvantaged women are those women who are victims of domestic violence; women and adolescent girls who are victims of rape or sexual abuse; commercial sex workers; women and adolescent girls who are HIV-positive or victims of drug abuse.

UNDP is supporting RENEW's preventative program focused on advocating against domestic violence or any form of violations and discrimination against women.
