The meetings were conducted by co-implementation partner ASED (10) at Habiganj, MPS (8) at Tangail, ACD (4) at Rajshahi, AVASH (6) at Barisal, and SoDESH (4) at Satkhira. These community courtyard meetings raised awareness among women and marginalised groups about legal rights, social protection schemes and available health and legal services. Interactive discussions enabled participants to share experiences. ASK is executing the EngageNow Project as part of the Nagorikota: Civic Engagement Fund (CEF) program, with backing from the Embassy of Switzerland, Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and European Union (EU). Through these efforts, ASK is dedicated to empowering women and promoting a culture of justice at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In April 2026, Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) organised 32 Uthan Boithak sessions aimed at engaging local women, including minorities and marginalised groups, engaging 514 participants.
