📢 Standing Strong Against Digital Harms: Youth-Led Action in Camp-16! 🛡️✨

Today, the streets and Tika Conference Room of Camp-16 in Palongkhali Union echoed with a clear, unified voice: "SAY NO TO ONLINE GAMBLING, SAY YES TO PEACE & UNITY!" 🚫📱🤝

As part of our ongoing social cohesion activities, SHED in joint partnership with ActionAid Bangladesh and co-funded by the European Union facilitated a powerful, youth-led community mobilization campaign.

We were deeply encouraged by the active support and presence of the Camp-in-Charge (CiC) Representative and Camp Site Management authorities, reflecting a vital team effort to protect the community.

To tackle the rising threat of online gambling, our youth peacebuilders from the camp-16 youth Peace Café and our dedicated partner YLO, In Search of Humanity, led three grassroots initiatives:

🚶‍♂️ An Awareness Rally: Youth and camp residents marched together through the block streets, filling public spaces with a collective call for digital well-being.
🎭 Theater & Awareness Songs: Local youth used traditional drama and music to tell raw, human stories vividly highlighting how digital gambling fractures family savings and neighborhood trust.
✍️ A Public Signing Campaign: Camp residents, community leaders, and institutional stakeholders stood side-by-side to sign a physical pledge, promising to completely reject online gambling and protect their blocks.

By combining the creative storytelling of our youth with the active support of camp authorities, today proved that the strongest shield against digital threats is community solidarity. 🌟

আন্তর্জাতিক শান্তিপূর্ণ সহাবস্থান দিবস, এ বছর আমাদের মনে করিয়ে দেয়:
সংলাপ, অন্তর্ভুক্তি ও সহমর্মিতার চর্চাই পারে শান্তিপূর্ণ সহাবস্থান গড়ে তুলতে।

রাষ্ট্র থেকে ব্যক্তিজীবন, সর্বত্র গড়ে উঠুক সহনশীলতা, পারস্পরিক শ্রদ্ধা ও সহাবস্থানের সংস্কৃতি। শান্তি নেমে আসুক পৃথিবীতে।

"We are learning to understand each other and work together for peace.”
This is what young people from refugee and host communities shared during a two-day joint field visit in Cox’s Bazar, co-funded by the European Union through the project Youth-Led Peacebuilding and Social Cohesion Initiatives in Bangladesh and Myanmar.
The visit, jointly organized by ActionAid Bangladesh and ActionAid Myanmar in collaboration with Society for Health Extension and Development, provided a space for young people to exchange experiences, reflect on their peacebuilding efforts, and learn from one another’s community initiatives.
Through Peace Cafés, joint sports, community watch groups, and green skills activities, young people highlighted how these initiatives are helping to build trust, improve relationships, and reduce tensions between communities. The youth force envisions fostering greater social harmony and promoting respectful and peaceful coexistence.
This initiative is made possible with the support of the European Union in Bangladesh.

Empowering youth for a more inclusive future!

We are thrilled to share highlights from our recent two-batch, two-day residential training on Gender Responsive Public Service (GRPS) held at the Sea Palace Hotel, Cox’s Bazar. This insightful program was part of the ‘Youth-Led Peacebuilding and Social Cohesion’ project, supported by the European Union and ActionAid Bangladesh.
The training brought together our dedicated SHED YPSC staff, youth peacebuilders, and leaders from various Youth-Led Organizations (YLOs) to dive deep into the GRPS 4S Framework, focusing on making public services more accountable, inclusive, and gender-sensitive. From analyzing gender-responsive budgets to practicing social accountability tools, the energy for creating real change was truly inspiring.
By strengthening the analytical skills of our youth peacebuilders and team, we are building a powerful platform for evidence-based advocacy to ensure public services work for everyone in our community.
A big thank you to our partners and the brilliant participants for their commitment to a more equitable and people-centered society. 🤝✊
