Women – Mindful, Empowered, and Nurturing (WMEN) is a Nepalese women-led community initiative supported by Action for Healthy Communities. The group launched their initiative with a self-care session themed Stay Fit with Zumba on June 29, 2024.
The event was held at NECASE Community Hall, and 18 women, including eight newcomer young women, were participating, and they felt connected and safe in this group. The Zumba instructor for the session was one of the group leaders, demonstrating effective use of internal resources to address community needs.
Participants expressed high satisfaction with the one-hour session of intensive physical exercise. Following the Zumba workout, they had the opportunity to network with other women and share their experiences, joys, and challenges. This session aimed to create a safe space for sharing, which is particularly needed by newcomer women in the community.
This activity is planned for four sessions, concluding on July 27. The next session will feature the theme Stay Fit with Yoga.
