Suad is a 35 year-old widow with five children. As an immigrant without any identification papers, it was very difficult for her to find a job. After taking the Women Empowerment Program tailoring and trauma relief courses, she had the vocational skills and self-assurance to start working and earning a living as a tailor in her neighborhood. Now she is one of the most active tailors in her community and confidently supports her family.

Suad are 35 de ani, e văduvă și are cinci copii. Ca și imigrant, fără acte de identitate, a fost foarte dificil pentru ea să găsească un loc de muncă. După ce a făcut de Programul de împuternicire a femeilor şi cursuri de alinare a traumelor, ea a avut abilităţile profesionale şi încrederea pentru a începe să lucreze şi să își câştige un trai ca și croitoreasă în cartierul său. Acum, ea este una dintre cele mai active croitorese din comunitatea ei îşi sprijină cu încredere familia.

The Art of Living Foundation Women Empowerment Program in Iraq addresses women'semotional and psychological needs and gives them the skills they need to achieve economic stability for themselves and their families.

Programul pentru împuternicirea femeilor al  Fundatiei Arta de a trăi în Irak, se adresează nevoilor emoționale și psihologice ale femeilor  şi le oferă abilităţile de care au nevoie pentru a atinge stabilitatea economică pentru ele şi familiile lor.

The women undergo trauma relief workshops to release the build-up of stress and tension accumulated daily from fear of attack, lack of security, trauma from the loss of friends and family members and the responsibility of often being the sole breadwinner and caregiver to their families.

Femeile sunt supuse unor cursuri de alinare a traumelor  pentru a elibera stresul şi tensiunea acumulate zilnic de la frica de atac, lipsa de securitate, traumele din urma pierdereii unor prieteni şi membri de familie şi de responsabilitatea de a fi de multe ori singurul susţinător  și îngrijitor al familiei.

Vocational training builds confidence and economic independence

 Formarea profesională construiește încredere şi independenţă economică

Once a sense of stability and inner peace is established, the women are able toimplement the skills learned in the training programs. They have the confidenceand enthusiasm to change their lives and care for their families. They have the tools to achieve an economic status, where self-sustainability and community leadership are possible.

 

Odată ce un sentiment de stabilitate şi pace interioară este stabilit, femeile sunt în măsură să implementeze competenţele dobândite în cadrul programelor de formare. Ele au încrederea și entuziasmul  pentru a-și schimba viaţa şi a se îngriji de familiile lor. Ele au instrumentele necesare pentru a atinge un statut economic, unde auto-sustenabilitatea şi conducerea comunităţii sunt posibile.
