FST

"Working with FST for the last one year gives incredible experience on working with the women who lost their loved ones (husbands) in the armed conflict… IRDSO could work with their emotions, traumas, their life. I also feel that coming together of these women itself is a process of healing from their traumas. I witnessed and experienced women changing from the first time I met and saw them."
