" Growing up in Bangladesh gave me a first-hand experience of witnessing how people suffer from multidimensional crises such as poverty, natural disasters, unemployment, etc. I deeply care about the people around me and helping others gives me a sense of fulfillment. I believe that my compassionate and empathetic personality motivates me to work for those who have less. By saying, " those who have less" I am simply referring to people who are not as privileged as I am. Poor and vulnerable people who did not get a chance to educate themselves and continue to suffer from acute financial crises and insecurity. These vulnerable populations are willing to work in dangerous working conditions (as seen in ship recycling yards in Bangladesh) to make a livelihood. My project “Worker’s Safety and Health in Ship Recycling Yards of Bangladesh” aims to promote workers’ security in the workplace and help encourage safe working conditions to uphold social protection. The yards witnessed the death of one worker each week and each day one worker got injured on average. As such, I want to dedicate my academic credentials, research skills, and vast network to assist this underprivileged populace. The Millennium Fellowship would allow me to be a changemaker and torchbearer of meaningful transformation and social justice. Moreover, the Millennium Fellowship will connect me with a cohort of like-minded peers working tirelessly in pursuit of serving those around them. "
