(ENGLISH)Lipi Rahman Short Interview by HumanImpactsInstitute

Lipi Rahman chose a path that strayed from her cultural norms to focus on community empowerment, mainly focusing on issues that pertain to women’s rights. She started her career at 22, and since then has dedicated her life to helping women in communities that are suffering from the impact of climate change. As the co-founder of Badabon Sangho, Lipi uses lessons from her own experiences to support vulnerable women in their fight to increase access to and control over their lands, property, and water. So far, Lipi and her team have mobilised and organised 3,750 women in 60 women organisations, who are empowered to engage with local government and assert their rights.
