In addition to sitting in and observing Microfinance loan recipient meetings with BRAC, a visit to a BRAC School and a Human rights and law program was visited. The human rights and law program was just outstanding. The women learned that they have actual tangible rights. Their husbands cannot say “I divorce you” three times for them to be divorced. The women learn that they can go to court and must go through a legal process to get a divorce. On that same note, they learn that they should register their marriage, so that if something happens they are entitled to things. They learn that they have a position in society that matters, and that they have rights. This is part of the empowerment of the women, which is beneficial for the Microfinance loan success after my opinion.
