Since December 2006, our Tulip School
helped 600 girls learn basic Bengali,
English, maths and life skills. With
more confidence and knowledge they are
better equipped to face the challenges
of early marriage, eve teasing, domestic
violence and discrimination.
My name is Lily Barua, Headmaster,
Kushum Kumari City Corporation Girls
High School, Chittagong. Since 2004,
PHREB has been educating our students
and teachers about human rights and
gender equality. They organize series of
programs such as lessons for students
and teachers, cultural functions,
theatres, sports and debates.
Imams in Bangladesh are more likely to
favour the position of men when making
religious verdicts in rural Bangladesh,
but this is slowly changing. Imams
belonging to PHREB's Imams Movement for
Women's Rights are letting go of their
male bias and standing up for women
I was a domestic help. My mother is
also a domestic worker. My father left
my mother after my birth as he was not
happy for a girl child. I joined BKAF
Faridar Para Chapter in March 2006.
BKAF has helped me to get back to
school, with school dress, educational
materials, monthly stipend and
examination fees. I want to be doctor
to serve girls and children. Rita

violence, safe water and sanitation,

Shima (not her real name and picture

university student. Her teacher and
friends raped her and she didn't tell
anyone. One evening she attended an
adolescent girls and young women's
motivational dialogue organized by BKAF
and felt motivated to speak out against
what happened.
Reba, 15 (not her real name and picture

victim of gang rape. The rapists
violated her for five days in a locked
room. PHREB's legal aid and counseling
program supported her to get justice.
PHREB has received 1,854 greeting cards
from the students of the Netherlands.
These cards have encouraged many abused
girls, including Rahima, who was the
victim a gang rape. The perpetrators
wanted to kill her by throwing her body
into the Bay of Bengal but
luckily she was saved. Rahima was shown
albums containing these beautiful
cards and replied "I am so
happy because of these wonderful
cards". At 24, she is a traumatised
woman however she is getting mental
strength from these cards.
