Child Rights Advocacy Coalition Bangladesh (CRAC, B) Organizes “Mock UPR with children” to Empower Child Voices and Foster Government Accountability

Expressing joy, Shopna shared, “Participating in the Mock UPR was not only enjoyable but also enlightening about the UPR (Universal Periodic Review). As members representing different countries, it felt like we were sitting in Geneva, sharing our thoughts and providing recommendations for the development of Child Rights in our country.

The Power Within

Since its establishment in 1983, ActionAid Bangladesh (AAB) has been at the forefront of disaster response and climate change adaptation efforts in Bangladesh. We prioritise gender-sensitive approaches, empowering women as leaders during emergencies. In partnership with UN Women, we are dedicated to empowering Rohingya women and girls in the refugee camp. Our project centred around Multi-purpose Women's Centres (MPWC), aiming to address the diverse needs of this vulnerable population, and recognise the critical role of women in building stronger communities. Our goal is clear: to empower Rohingya women and girls. Through MPWCs, we offer tailored services like psychosocial support, healthcare, leadership training, and livelihood skill development. We equip women with tools to assert their rights, build confidence, and drive change in their communities. This storybook captures the empowering journey of Rohingya women and girls in the world's largest refugee camp. May these stories inspire hope, courage, and meaningful conversations. We must create a world where every woman is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
