Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

According to the Lowy Institute, the Chinese government granted $120,000 USD to the Federated States of Micronesia for a Yap Women's Association's (YWA) multifunctional center (or multipurpose building). When these funds were formally committed is unknown. The precise project details are unclear, but according to a UN Human Rights Council review, these multipurpose centers "double as women’s activity places and shelters and children’s day care centers. Yap State has secret shelters that the state government does not know about that cater to mothers and children victims of domestic violence." There are other sources alluding to a YWA multipurpose building, but none mention Chinese involvement.
