My personal vision for my life is that I
want to become a writer whose words become weapons to battle with
violence and discrimination against improvised children’s, women and
young girls. My voice is important for the voiceless who endure the
trauma with agonizing silence; my voice is alive and is full of life; my
voice is ambitious for it aims to bring positive changes; my voice is
rebellious and does not obey any rule, any constraint; and my voice is
powerful enough for change and success.
The most importantly, my vision is that I
see myself as a part of solutions to Education, poverty, human
trafficking, women and girls rights; moreover, I always see myself as
trailblazer of positive changes in my community. I want to be an
effective change maker and exemplary social worker. I also see my
knowledge and my experience will be the service to others’ needs.
I want UDiON to provide a vibrant and
diverse residential learning community where underprivileged children’s,
girls are encouraged to take part in and fulfill their potentials. I
want to improve the quality of education by creating a student-focused
environment in which each individual is encouraged to express their
thoughts and opinions so that they can recognize their own potentials as
well as to be able to cultivate each individual’s self-confidence,
creativity, and their critical thinking skills to explore more through
daily interactions, communications and readings.
As I think of the current crises that are
facing in Bangladesh, I get really frustrated and begin to think that
the chance of my vision for empowering Bangladeshi youth and women is
bleak. Bangladeshi youth who led coalition of armies in battle of 1971,
and ruled over ancient Pakistani ferocious, are being oppressed in the
name of tradition, laws, and family owned business (politics is not
never was never will and shouldn’t be a business).
My voice comes from the passion I have to
make my vision for Bangladeshi youth and women. I want to magnify the
cries of 116 million innocent people over 20 million who live below
poverty line over 4.6 million who is in depressed child labor, domestic
violence, sexual abuse so that it may be heard. I want us to reclaim the
free Bangladesh so bloodshed and lives and those scars to heal. I want
the accusatory cultural views to change so that women feel supported to
address these issues, and not suffer alone in silence anymore. I want
domestic violence to be addressed seriously, and not seen as a personal
issue, or a form of spousal discipline. I want rape to be seen as a
crime and not as a punishment because a woman’s behavior can be
subjected to debate and interpretation. I want women and children’s to
find a safe space to speak their truth of the experience. Essentially, I
want discussion of sexual crimes, and domestic violence to be
normalized so that we may overcome them, and so that the perpetrators do
not find safety within cultural norms that allow the unbearable
silence.
Through Voices of Our Future, We will
find a way to share our voice, and for it to be heard across the world. I
believe that when a child or a woman’s voice is rising louder, it gives
an opportunity for child and women who live in fear and silence a
chance to speak out. Everyone has something to offer through our voice. I
want to become a Voices of Our Future generation because I do not want
to continue the silence. I want to be at a position that allows me to
give voice to the voiceless who endure the trauma with agonizing
silence.
I’m convinced that what’s happening in
Bangladesh has nothing to do with Jamat E-Islam but instead with the
politics of oppression. I hope to be seeing our youth, young men and
women, rising up against the violations made in the name of their party.
If you want defeat Jamat E-Islam do so in democratic processes not in
politics of oppression. We should uphold democracy to enjoy our personal
freedom and rights. Religion is a personal belief — not a state affair
and a tool of injustice that humiliate human beings.
We have to begin our civil rights quest
in ERNEST—not by a quiet discussion in the corner, not by being the last
topic of an agenda. Justice and equality delayed is justice and
equality DENIED.
The mission is critical; the task is
challenging and lonely. There is NO ONE ELSE to turn to or give the task
to. We are it. Our quest is noble, our challenge is enormous, our
mission is sacred and we must not fail. We must not fail our children.
Education is the best way to end the
cycle of Poverty and exploitation of children’s. We must educate
ourselves and others around us.
“I will Continue to Study, till there is
Nothing More to Learn.” We have the platform to raise our voice,
question, bounce ideas and think innovatively with like-minded people
around the world on how to make this world a little better place than
what I found.
Long Live Bangladesh.
