A. ABOUT PRERONA

PRERONA is a women-led feminist non-governmental organization based in the Satkhira district of Bangladesh, founded in 2006 by a group of like-minded social workers. Since its inception, PRERONA has been dedicated to empowering vulnerable women in the coastal regions. These women often face persecution, exploitation, and are subjected to gender-based violence due to societal impact, social stigma, and natural calamities, all of which exacerbate gender disparity.

PRERONA aims to enhance the quality of life for children, women, and the broader community by elevating the socio-economic conditions of marginalized and vulnerable populations. The organization envisions a society where women and men equally participate in and benefit from decision-making processes. Prerona’s mission is to uplift and advocate for the rights of marginalized women who are frequently deprived of access, excluded from decision-making processes, and subjected to various forms of social neglect. PRERONA promotes diversity and inclusion and creates an open and inclusive culture where everyone feels valued.

PRERONA's projects serve a diverse population in the Satkhira, Khulna, Bagerhat, and Naogaon Districts with include women, men, transgender, persons with disabilities (PwD), adolescents, youth and ethnic communities.
