Border guard force sharing hardships, empowering women in border areas

The program has empowered many women to boldly launch small businesses and gain the confidence to develop production and business models tailored to local conditions. As a result, women in these areas are not only improving their livelihoods and household incomes but are also gradually asserting their roles and status within their families and communities, contributing to the overall development and prosperity of the border regions.
