" Solving Problems and growing these two are important parts of my work and motivates me consistently to do things. I am excited to be a part of the Millennium Fellowship because here I see an opportunity to enhance these skills. I am also thrilled to be part of this programme to meet with more like-minded people. I believe I can learn new skills in this programme which will help me to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable goals and these skills will pave new paths for me in future. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Rosalind

Project Rosalind is a research project in Bangladesh to inspire and encourage more women to pursue research and STEM careers. This falls under SDG 5, Gender Equality, and UNAI #3 Education for All. There are many prejudices against women in Bangladesh which stop them from pursuing a career in research in spite of their aspirations. But there is very little data available in Bangladesh on what kind of roadblocks there are for women, which stops them from taking research as their career. Because of the lack of data, it is often hard to pinpoint which sectors should be improved in order to remove these roadblocks. So, project Rosalind has conducted survey research to collect data on why the low numbers for women in STEM and research. After analyzing the data from this research, we are now working on how to minimize the obstructions realistically.
