The center understands that stories are the lifeblood of any culture. It encourages women to share their own stories and those passed down through generations. From folktales whispered by grandmothers to modern narratives of struggle and triumph, these stories are carefully recorded and preserved. This ensures that the wisdom and experiences of Thai women will continue to inspire future generations.
