" Millennium Fellowship Project: She Leads In Chittagong, where we currently live, we’ve observed that the majority of females begin school but do not finish it due to early marriage. Girls are being raised by families with the expectation that they would become housewives when they grow up. Such ideas discourage many talented females from pursuing careers. Reports have shown that many married women in Bangladesh are abused physically, mentally, sexually or economically at some point in their lives by their husbands. In such cases most girls do not leave their husbands because they are not financially self-sufficient. If a girl is educated enough, she will be able to protest against such violence and come out of this situation. That’s why we propose conducting sessions with local girls between the ages of 10 and 18 along with their families. We will learn in these sessions how essential it is for a girl to have an academic focus. During these sessions, we will help them realize that a girl’s life should have goals beyond being married. Our project will show them several viewpoints on how pursuing higher education might enhance one’s quality of life. We’ll additionally talk about freelancing as a career option for those girls who are looking for financial solvency. We will prioritize the development of their skills, including interpersonal and other relevant competencies. By earning from home, they can carry out their academic fees and they can avoid reliance on others.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Nirmol In Period pain isn't just cramps. It’s a crisis when your zip code decides if you bleed with dignity. In Bangladesh, every three in four women and girls face barriers to accessing menstrual hygiene products. To many from lower economic backgrounds, period isn't pink; period is misery. They don't have access to sanitary pads or menstrual education. A vast number of people in my country who don't have enough knowledge and suffer from many issues. Frequent floods, salinity in the coastal region, and the pain they endure lead many to consume birth control pills. The misuse of contraceptive pills causes complex issues like thyroid problems, hormonal imbalance, skin issues, chronic diseases, and even cervical cancer. They resort to such measures just to stop bleeding, which depicts the lack of awareness and menstrual education. The concentration of heavy metals causes some serious health issues to the young girls as well. According to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (2018), 61% of rural households and 27% of urban households lack improved sanitation facilities, making it difficult for people to manage menstruation hygienically. 91% of women from low-income communities continue to use cloth due to cost concerns. Therefore, we’re working on Project Nirmol, where will host workshops in community schools and conduct health sessions in rural regions. We need to contact rural schools and conduct online seminar sessions where people can communicate directly with health specialists. This can help us understand what's going on and who needs what. Hygiene Apa, a youth led project in rural and suburban regions, will educate and mentor school teachers to run community based campaigns creating grassroots impact. Awareness is the key. Since not everyone has a smartphone, this project caters to SDG 3 (Good Health), SDG 6 (ensuring clean water and sanitation for all) and SDG 4 (Education for all) and by directly engaging with the primary and high school students and the community mothers. Flashcards on sanitation and menstrual education make it more compelling and easy for mothers to understand visually. By contacting the school authorities, we can distribute these flashcards and they can teach them in their classrooms.With these flashcards, teachers can teach students how to sanitize properly, handle contaminated water, and learn about menstrual hygiene visually. They can bring these flashcards home, basically becoming health advocates for their own community. And by distributing sanitary pads, we can ensure awareness, so that they know something called "sanitary pads" exists other than normal clothes, which cause cancer. For Project Nirmol, the measurable goals are designed to track tangible impact on both students and community members. We aim to distribute 100 sanitary pads per school visit, ensuring that women and girls in participating communities have access to proper menstrual hygiene products. Flashcards on sanitation and menstrual education will be distributed to 40 students per pilot school, with at least 80% of students demonstrating understanding of key concepts through short quizzes or interactive activities. Teachers will be trained to use these flashcards effectively, with 10 teachers per school completing the training and conducting at least two classroom sessions per month. We plan to host three health sessions targeting 25 community mothers per session, recording attendance and collecting feedback to measure awareness and engagement. Additionally, we will monitor households for the adoption of proper sanitation practices, such as handwashing, pad drying, and clean water usage, using follow-up surveys and visits to ensure the interventions are creating lasting change. We believe compassionate action is all it takes. And with our project Nirmol, we hope to empower communities to become health advocates for themselves.

But below is the brief of what the project is all about The concept behind this project is to link up the opportunities opened to people in technology from education. Although, it is popularly believed that the technological world is opened to anyone, but it is most times necessary to be accademically inclined to see the depth of opportunities embeded in the technological ecosystem. I came up with an idea that can allow students majorly to explore the tech world in alignment to whatever course they might be studying in school. Take for example, a law student doubting the necessity of tech in his/her discipline. With the necessary orientation, he/she will be able to understand that working as a lawyer can enhance data analysis which is one of the most important skill set in the technological world and other examples. The main idea is to enable students see the relationship between their respective courses and technology.

Here the question arises, do we consider menstruator's periods to be as normal as men's beards? Sadly, the obvious answer is a no. As a solution to this issue, we are working on a project called ""Bleed With Pride"" with an aim to erase the taboo regarding menstruation and equip the neglected group of the society with proper education on menstrual health and hygiene to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Our primary target audience is the people who are deprived of having access to this much-needed knowledge. We are specifically targeting the people of the slum area. Till now, we have taken the ""BLEED WITH PRIDE"" workshop at the slum Area in Chittagong, Bangladesh to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for people of all ages. To help the less capable people, we have distributed 1000 free sanitary pads in slum areas of Chittagong to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all and trained young girls from backward areas with a view to achieve gender equality and empower all women. When Covid-19 has arrived as a barrier to reach with the people personally, we have planned for not sitting idly but shifting the project online. We have used artificial intelligence, Mehzabin: A Menstrual Health Education Chatbot For Social Change (m.me/mehjabin.org)/ (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BQZneItR1mqCW23Rs5JZjnHxNhWYBpPx) which offers a variety of languages, audio and self-suggestion about various questions related to menstrual health, essential products related to menstruator's health as well as complete menstrual health guidelines. Where anyone of any gender can ask unanswered questions about menstruator's menstruation. We have further planned and finalised to create an application software for the same purpose. Taboos around periods reinforce gender inequality and make it difficult to solve the challenges faced by many menstruators in managing their hygiene. There’s no shame in periods — but it is shameful that hundreds of millions of menstruation cannot deal with menstruation with dignity and privacy. It’s time to break the taboo and start talking about solutions. This project mainly focuses on SDG 3: Good Health & well beings; and SDG 4: Quality Education and UN Academic Impact: Human rights.
