You’re in class, then you suddenly realise that you have gotten your period. Your body is filled with dread, and you immediately search your bag for a period product. If you realise that you forgot to restock, you quietly ask your female classmates for one, and someone hands you one, although sneakily, because period is still a huge taboo despite increasing conversations about it.
If that is the scenario you face when you have your period, then you’re one of the 5% of women receiving access to menstrual products due to financial issues or social stigmas. Even in 2025, menstruation is considered one of the biggest taboos in our society. Menstrual health education is still severely lacking amongst Bangladeshi society, whether it is among teenagers, adults or in our education system. Menstruation products are still considered a luxury in many communities rather than a necessity due to its pricing and/or availability. Many women have to miss work due to lack of access to menstrual hygiene product or the proper knowledge
On this menstrual hygiene day, let us acknowledge and unlearn that menstruation is not a taboo nor a sickness. It is a perfectly normal process for women. Many government initiatives and organisations are relentlessly working to make menstruation more accessible for all, but we still have a long way to go to create a for all.

Across the world, women in ICT are doing far more than writing code– they are reshaping the future with courage and conscience. In fields often dominated by others, they persist, creating space not only for themselves, but for the generations who will follow.
Yet even as they build and innovate, many refuse to look away from the injustices around them. Moroccan engineer Ibtihal Aboussad, working at Microsoft, made global headlines when she bravely confronted the company’s AI chief at Microsoft's 50th anniversary celebration, challenging its involvement in the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. Fearless of risking her career, Aboussad spoke out with conviction, later sharing that she could no longer bear the thought that her work — her code — might contribute to harm. Her courage reminds us that the true power of women in tech lies not only in their skills, but in their unwavering commitment to justice, even when speaking up comes at a personal cost.
Every line of code written, every voice raised, and every barrier broken brings us closer to a world where women’s presence in ICT is not the exception — but the force shaping our collective future.

WeMen View stands resolute in solidarity with the innocent people of Gaza.
In alignment with the global call for a strike on April 7, 2025. We will observe a full suspension of our operations as a gesture of support and resistance.
As an Organization founded on the values human rights, we cannot watch helplessly as thousands of defenceless civilian—men, women, and children—are being brutally bombed, starved, and murdered in front of the world. This is not just a war; it is an obvious example of ethnic cleansing and a systematic attack on human dignity.
To all who believe in Justice — be they individuals, Institutions or organizations— let’s all take part in this collective resistance.

Last Tuesday, Israel ended it’s ceasefire by launching a series of deadly airstrikes overnight, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians across the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed shamelessly that, “this is just the beginning”
Health officials in Gaza Strip reported that over 400 people were killed and hundreds more were injured,as of now. The air strikes resulted in significant casualties, with many victims trapped under the rubble, straining local medical facilities.
Mosab Abu Toha forged “in Gaza, Death is safer than life” Mere existence in their daily routine is a rare privilege. They are deprived of their fundamental rights as guaranteed by International law. British foreign secretary David Lammy recognized Israel’s reinstatement blockade of gaza as “breach of International law” But such words are not sufficient, they are, in fact, lies. Because countries like Britain keep providing components for the fighter jets used by Israel to employs in its bombing campaigns.
The ongoing genocide in Gaza, fueled by relentless strikes and violations of International law, underscores the urgent need for global accountability and actions. The words of world leaders are not adequate if they are not backed by meaningful changes and by pressuring on Israeli and American Government, who are complicit in perpetuating the ongoing genocide.
In closing, we can only hope that as time goes by, the people of Gaza will one day wake up to a serene and bright morning, No longer living in fear of unexpected airstrikes. As we chant in unison-
“ From River to the sea
Palestine will be free”

WeMen View is a registered Voluntary Social Welfare Organization that aims to counter sexual harassment by concentrating on Men/Boys through changing the pre-existent gender perceptions in Bangladesh and developing a vivid concept of consent. In 2017, a survey showed that 818 women and children were reported to be r***d and 104 women were attempted to be r***d in Bangladesh, where the perpetrators were mostly men. With that in mind, WeMen View originated in 2018.
We identified the problem in a different light. This problematic r**e culture and the cycle of toxic masculinity that turns people into perpetrators ie. The Causes should be our target to change. We decided it was time we started teaching the children about consent so that they do not turn into perpetrators in the future. The perception of what gender looks like starts to develop from a very young age and this should exactly be the time period which we should be targeting to bring reforms in gender issues and mindsets.
Our objective is to build a world where there will be consent and equality for all. The children we teach now will be the defenders of these rights, not our perpetrators.
So what do we teach these children as a part of our solution to the problem?
Gender Roles: This is extremely important to understand so that
No gender is dehumanized.
Children grow up believing in equality and empathy.
The cycle of toxic masculinity is demolished.
Personal Space: This is important to understand so that these kids respect each others’ personal space or as we call it "আমার নিজের জায়গা”.
Consent: This is probably the most important topic to understand. We teach them how to and when to say NO, how it is okay to say NO and to respect others’ opinions when they say NO. A clear conception of consent will lead to creating fewer perpetrators in the future.
Good/touch and bad touch: We show them the places in their bodies where they should not let others touch them (by anyone other than their guardians if needed). These are also the places where they should not be touching others.
Intervening techniques: We show them the basic intervention techniques in case they see someone getting harassed making sure that we inspire them to be a good samaritan. We also make them understand the visible and less visible signs of someone getting harassed so that it is easier for them to know when to intervene.
WeMen View has reached more than 1000 children whom we teach the above concepts. We want to take our initiatives to a level where it’s accessible to everyone. These organic changes are slow and small but the ripples of these changes will speak volumes.
We have reached schools in remote areas like Kamrangirchar to Nayanagar. Some of the schools include Rayerbazar Government Primary School, Moneshwar Government Primary School, Gojomohol Government Primary School, Siddiq Miya Government Primary School, Ideal Muslim Government Primary School, Nayanagar Rafiq Government Primary School and many more.
The before-after surveys taken at the workshops and 3 months after them, showed that 70-75% of the students were able to retain the information and were able to implement them in their daily lives. For example, a lot of students wrote letters to us on how they saved someone or themselves from getting sexually harassed.
And we need YOUR help to make our vision come true. Reach out to us if you want to get workshops done in your school. Let the doorway of a healthy discourse be opened not only for you but also for others who need it.
