UN Women is supporting five Multi-Purpose Women’s Centres (MPWCs) in the camps and three in host community locations in Cox’s Bazar with funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, and the Embassy of Japan in Bangladesh. Operated by Women’s Rights Organizations (WROs), the MPWCs provide a safe space for women and girls to access multi-sectoral services and support by different providers, pursuing an integrated service model built on collaboration and recognition of the expertise and resources of different actors while recognizing the unique role of WROs in spearheading approaches which nurture the agency, leadership and resilience of women and girls, including female-headed households, elderly women, women and girls with disabilities, and adolescent girls.
MPWC services encompass psychosocial support, GBV case management and referrals, legal awareness sessions and legal aid (UNHCR, from May 2025), health and hygiene services, sexual and reproductive health services (SRHR) depending on availability (UNFPA monitoring and technical support), Myanmar curriculum education for girls and young women who have dropped out of school (UNICEF), accelerated adult learning (AAL), livelihoods skills training, and life-skills and leadership development. MPWCs provide space for women and adolescent girls to come together, fostering social connections and mental health. To strengthen self-reliance and self-care practices, some MPWCs offer production spaces and shop corners for income generation activities, others implement refugee-led healing programme to support trauma recovery and reduce stress. During emergencies such as cyclones and fires, MPWCs function as shelters for women and children, with MPWC volunteers entrusted to run their operations.
The WROs operating the MPWCs (Action Aid Bangladesh, JNUS, and RWWS) engage closely with camp management officials and humanitarian actors to ensure the concerns of women are addressed and that referrals are made to specialized services. MPWC volunteers play a vital role in conducting community outreach and awareness raising activities, including to secure support from male gatekeepers and family members for the participation of women and girls in MPWC activities and for the goals of women’s and girls’ empowerment and gender equality.

The purpose of this photo was to show what my camera would display at its maximum sensitivity to light before it becomes grainy.
This photo proved my camera's limit.
This photo was adjusted to accommodate its brightness
in the all-purpose room in a newly restored mid 1800s log cabin.
The two most modern items to be seen are the couch and the artificial Christmas tree. :-)

A distinctive trait of this monkey is the male's large protruding nose. The purpose of the large nose is unclear, but it has been suggested that it is a result of sexual selection. Another explanation is an adaptation to the facial structure to diving, the same as bipedalism might be an adaptation to wading, as proposed in the aquatic ape hypothesis.
Males are much larger than females, reaching 72 cm (28 inches) in length, with an up to 75 cm tail, and weighing up to 24 kg (53 pounds). Females are up to 60 cm long, weighing up to 12 kg (26 lb).
The Proboscis Monkey also has a large belly, as a result of its diet. Its digestive system is divided into compartments, with bacteria that digest cellulose and neutralize toxins from certain leaves. This lets the monkey eat leaves and remain in the forest canopy.
The contents of their stomach weigh about a quarter of their whole body. A side-effect of this unique digestive system is that it is unable to digest ripe fruit, unlike most other simians.The diet consists mainly of fruits, seeds, leaves and mangrove shoots. Source:Wikipedia
