The Indian Battalion serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) celebrated International Women’s Day by organising a special yoga session for women in El Fardis. This initiative aimed to promote physical well-being, mental resilience, and community cohesion among women in the conflict-affected region.
Conducted by trained instructors, the session introduced stress-relief techniques, mindfulness practices, and holistic wellness approaches, offering participants a moment of self-care and empowerment. Yoga, known for its therapeutic benefits, provided a means for emotional healing and strength-building, reinforcing the significance of women’s well-being in post-conflict recovery.
The initiative aligns with the Indian Battalion’s broader commitment to fostering gender equality, health, and resilience. By organising such activities, UNIFIL peacekeepers continue to support local communities, demonstrating how peacekeeping extends beyond security to include social and emotional well-being.
