Bangladesh Café
WHAT THIS GROUP IS ABOUT:
Bangladesh is a darling child of nature blessed with numerous natural wonders, including the longest beach in the world, Cox’s Bazaar, and the largest mangrove forest, Shundarban. Bangladesh is famous not only because of its evergreen natural beauty, but also for being the birth place of some noble peoples and organizations of the world, among them the Noble Prize winners poet Tabindranath Tagore (Literature) and Dr. Muhammad Yunus (Peace), whom are both remarkable.
Bangladesh is the only country in the world which had to fight for its mother tongue Bengali. Therefore, UNESCO declare February 21, the day when we achieved our mother tongue, as International Mother Language Day. Although we suffer from economic turmoil , corruption, gender discrimination and political violence, many national and international organizations are working to improve the situation. Despite the obstacles, Bangladesh is developing quickly. But to make this development more rapid we need to be aware of the many social obstacles, with gender equality being at the forefront.
To offer a more complete and comprehensive picture of Bangladesh’s rich and dynamic past, present and future, The Bangladesh Café aims to spotlight the unheard voices of women leaders and changemakers from Bangladesh and all those who support them. We invite you to share your personal experiences, thoughts, and visions for the future of your country and her people.
