In partnership with the UK Home Office Forced Marriage Unit and charity FORWARD, an educational campaign was produced targeting schoolgirls in Cornwall at risk of  being sent abroad for early marriage and/or undergo female genital mutilation (FGM), and school staff and doctors were trained in intervention techniques.

Helped to ease the plight of people internally displaced by the war by providing psycho-social support. Tamu also delivered public lectures about human rights issues such as human trafficking.

Baking and recreational workshops were conducted with Palestinian and Syrian refugee children at the Shatila refugee camp in Lebanon. You can read  my article about it here.

Therapeutic workshops were run in Hanoi, Vietnam at the Blue Dragon centre with girls and young women who had been street kids and/or had been the victims of human trafficking.

Those girls and young women brave enough to expose incest are frequently ostracised for bringing shame to their family and community. Emerge is a charity which helps these survivors, and Tamu worked in partnership with them; running training workshops and organising a media campaign.

We ran vocational seminars for young female professionals in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, helping them to build careers in male-dominated industries. Listen to an audio documentary recorded on my trip to Cambodia here.

A nutritional programme was run at schools in remote indigenous communities on the Philippine island of Mindoro. 

Training was provided on setting up small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in rural areas where economic disparity between genders is high.
