Transforming Dreams into Reality Imagine a young woman in Cox's Bazar who has never stepped outside her home alone, whose world is limited to the confines of her small home. She dreams quietly of opening a tailoring shop, of earning enough to support her family, and of a life beyond uncertainty. For years, those dreams seemed impossible. But one day, an opportunity arrives. This is the story of many young women and men across Cox's Bazar, both from host communities and Rohingya refugees, whose hopes were once whispers. When the International Rescue Committee (IRC), together with local partners, reached out to them, they found the training, support, and confidence to turn dreams into reality.
