When women are given opportunities to lead, communities move closer to rights, justice, and inclusive governance.
Through initiatives like Isvaaru – Women in Local Governance, aspiring leaders across the Maldives are building the skills, confidence, and networks needed to engage in public life and community decision-making.
As these women continue their journeys beyond the programme, they carry forward momentum for more representative and inclusive local leadership.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls, we stand by this year’s theme: No excuse against online abuse.
Let’s choose kindness, consent, and safer digital spaces.

Protecting every child in every community, every island 🩵

In politics here they say “ލޯ ކަނު,” “ބީރު,” “އަތް ފައި ސަކަރާތް” to brand rivals as incompetent. Yet on the other side we fight every day to empower disabled people, to give them voice and dignity. How can the same society speak of inclusion while using disability as insult?

Smoke and mirrors.
A 30 percent commission means that for every dollar you spend, BML takes 30 cents. So the total cost of every dollar spent is US$ 1.3.
US$ 1.3 conversion at the bank rate is MVR 20.

The level of victim blaming people will resort to is just absolutely ridiculous.

Crip (Cripple): A reclaimed slur used by some disability activists (like myself) as a term of empowerment; challenges negative connotations associated with disability.
Examples in Dhivehi: އަތް ބަޅު، ކޮރު
