The project was implemented for a six-month period from January to June 2025 with the aim of building a more inclusive, gender-responsive, and disability-sensitive organizational culture within BDDT. under the title: “Advancing an Inclusive Approach to Enhance Organizational Capacity to Address Gender-Based Violence in Remote Coastal Areas.”, the project recognized that women and girls with disabilities often face multiple layers of discrimination, exclusion, and violence while having limited access to protection mechanisms and leadership opportunities. Through this initiative, BDDT worked to create a more inclusive, feminist, and gender-responsive organizational structure capable of promoting equity, participation, and safer environments for a specific marginalized community i.e persons with disabilities.
