On 13 April 2026, Bangladesh Red Crescent Society(BDRCS) proudly celebrated International Womenâs Day 2026 with a vibrant PGI Fair at the National Headquarters, Dhaka.
This year, with the theme âRIGHTS. JUSTICE. ACTION. For All Women and Girlsâ and the slogan , we reaffirm our commitment to Protection, Gender and Inclusion (PGI) by promoting Dignity, Access, Participation, and Safety (DAPS) for all. The PGI Fair brings together staff and volunteers to reflect, learn, and engage on key issues including gender equality, diversity, disability inclusion, and safeguarding.
Through interactive sessions, discussions, and exhibitions, we are strengthening our collective understanding that inclusive humanitarian action is essential for building resilient communities.
The inauguration session was honored by the presence of Dr. Kabir M. Ashraf Alam, ndc, Secretary General of BDRCS. Respected representatives from the RÃļda Korset, the British Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and Directors from HR and Admin, Health, International Relation and Communication, DCRM department shared their valuable insights. NHQ level staff of BDRCS were present in this event.
At BDRCS, we believe:
⨠Equality is a right, not a privilege
⨠Inclusion makes our work stronger
⨠Empowered individuals build stronger communities
Gender equality is not just a womenâs issue-it is a human rights issue and a development priority. When women are empowered, communities become stronger, more resilient, and more inclusive. Ms. Farzana Akther, Deputy Director, HR and PGI Focal of BDRCS were facilitated the events.
On this International Womenâs Day, let us continue to challenge inequality, celebrate diversity, and take meaningful action toward a more inclusive and equitable future.
