Sri Yasodara Orphanage, Sri Lanka
Sri Yasodara Orphanage in Sri Lanka is a home for girls who have lost their parents to the country's bitter civil war or the extreme poverty it has created. The orphanage is run by Loku Maniyo, a Buddhist nun, who offers love and shelter to over 80 girls from mixed backgrounds and both sides of the war.

Women’s Refugee Community in Zambia (WORECZ), Zambia
WORECZ reports that immigrant and refugee women are particularly vulnerable to domestic violence since language barriers and fear of immigration authorities often prevent these women from seeking assistance from police or victim advocates. Cultural factors may also discourage them from asserting their legal rights. For some undocumented female immigrants, maintaining the relationship with their abuser is sometimes the only way they avoid deportation and remain in Zambia.
