On the occasion of International Women’s Day on 8 March 2026, Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) organised a colourful rally, quiz competition and human chain in the Mohammadpur working area with members of the children’s and youth groups under the Speak-Up project. Representatives of social organisations, teachers and parents also participated in the programme.
Under the same project, ASK organised another human chain in Gazipur. The programme took place on Azimuddin College Road where representatives from various social organisations, teachers, students and youth actively participated.
Speakers at the events emphasised the importance of ensuring women’s rights, dignity and safety in society. They highlighted the need for collective efforts from all sectors to prevent violence and discrimination against women both online and offline and to raise awareness about women’s rights and protection.
ASK is implementing these programmes with the support of the European Union and technical assistance from Terre des Hommes Netherlands.
