৩রা ডিসেম্বর, ২০২৫ তারিখে International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) বা আন্তর্জাতিক প্রতিবন্ধী দিবস পালিত হয়েছে। এই বছরের প্রতিপাদ্য ছিল: "Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress" (সামাজিক অগ্রগতির জন্য প্রতিবন্ধী-অন্তর্ভুক্তিমূলক সমাজকে উৎসাহিত করা)।

এটি ছিল আন্তর্জাতিকভাবে ৩৪তম এবং বাংলাদেশে ২৭তম জাতীয় প্রতিবন্ধী দিবস।

ECHO এবং FCDO এর অর্থায়নে পরিচালিত Protection Consortium Project এর অধীনে রোহিঙ্গা ক্যাম্প এবং স্থানীয় জনগোষ্ঠীর মধ্যে এই দিবসটি উদযাপন করা হয়। এর প্রধান উদ্দেশ্য ছিল শারীরিক, সামাজিক এবং প্রাতিষ্ঠানিক বাধাগুলো অপসারণের জন্য সম্মিলিত পদক্ষেপকে ত্বরান্বিত করা এবং অন্তর্ভুক্তিমূলক কর্মসূচির প্রতি অঙ্গীকারকে শক্তিশালী করা। এই উপলক্ষে র‍্যালি, আলোচনা সভা, স্থানীয় সরকারি কর্তৃপক্ষের সাথে অ্যাডভোকেসি মিটিং এবং সহায়ক সরঞ্জাম বিতরণসহ বিভিন্ন কার্যক্রমের আয়োজন করা হয়। এই উদ্যোগগুলোর লক্ষ্য ছিল প্রতিবন্ধী ব্যক্তিদের জন্য মর্যাদা, সহনশীলতা এবং সমান সুযোগকে এগিয়ে নিয়ে যাওয়া।

Humanity & Inclusion (HI) Bangladesh organized Emergency Preparedness Workshops under the Ready for Action (REACT) project to strengthen emergency preparedness across HI Bangladesh programs. The first workshop took place in Cox’s Bazar from 25–28 August 2025 for field staff and partners, including CDD, AVAS, and MJSKS, with 30 participants from Cox’s Bazar, Kurigram, Barishal. The second workshop was held in Dhaka from 31 August to 2 September 2025 for the Senior Management Team (SMT) includes shared services managers, technical specialists, and HI’s partners, with 18 participants. The REACT workshop aims to identify, strengthen, and organize resources and capacities for rapid, effective emergency responses, with expected results such as enhanced context monitoring and early warning, improved emergency needs assessments, stronger emergency response and supply chain capabilities, better external coordination with INGOs/UN agencies and donors, and improved capacity to anticipate and access emergency funding. Pre-workshop online sessions for SMT and staff were held on 12–13 and 19–20 August 2025, covering HI in emergencies, preparedness processes, and related mechanisms, followed by workshop agendas on disaster risk analysis, emergency scenarios, partner coordination, capacity analysis, action planning, and Rapid Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (RMSA). HI HQ emergency focal Madeline Heudes, Watch and Emergency Preparedness Officer (WEPO) for south asia, facilitated the sessions.

Humanity & Inclusion (HI), in collaboration with the Safeguarding Resources and Support Hub (RSH), hosted a two-hour event on 4th September 2025 at the HI Bangladesh Country Office.

The program began with a safeguarding orientation for persons with disabilities, followed by a focused group discussion (FGD) on how PSEAH is perceived and addressed by persons with disabilities in Bangladesh, particularly within OPD and CSO programs.

Participants included representatives from OPDs, INGOs (such as ADD, British High Commission, B-SCAN, CDD, CBM, CSID, NCDW, Sightsavers, WDDF), safeguarding and PSEA focal persons, GBV and HR specialists, senior leadership, sector experts, and members of the disability community.

Speaking at the event, Sibghatullah Ahmed, Country Manager of HI Bangladesh, said:
"Safeguarding is in the priority of Humanity & Inclusion’s commitment to dignity and inclusion. This event created an important space for persons with disabilities and key stakeholders to share their voices and perspectives on PSEAH. Together with our partners, we will continue strengthening safe, inclusive, and accountable practices across all HI programs in Bangladesh."

Meanwhile, Md. Shohidul Islam Mithu, Country Compliance Manager of HI Bangladesh, emphasized:
"The engagement of persons with disabilities in this discussion is a powerful reminder that safeguarding must be shaped by those it is meant to protect. By listening, learning, and adapting our approaches, HI reaffirms its responsibility to ensure that every individual can access support and services free from harm, exploitation, or abuse."

On June 17, 2025, we had the honor of welcoming Ms. Anna Orlandini (Head of Office, DG ECHO, Dhaka) and Mr. Mike Ahern (ECHO Technical Assistant, Cox’s Bazar) to Humanity & Inclusion – Handicap International’s operations in Camp 16, Cox’s Bazar.

During their visit, the HI team presented its integrated approach to supporting the Rohingya community, including rehabilitation, prosthetics and orthotics (P&O), and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services. A key moment of the day was a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with community members who shared personal stories and valuable insights.

Ms. Orlandini expressed her appreciation for HI’s work and highlighted the importance of promoting dignity and inclusion for all. We are grateful to the EU delegation for their visit and continued support.

Azom (not his real name), a 3-year-old lives in Rohingya Camp, Cox’s Bazar, was born with bilateral clubfoot. For years, he couldn’t sit, stand, or walk—and his family, having fled Myanmar, had no way to continue his treatment.

That changed when they met the team from Humanity & Inclusion (HI). With the support of generous donors, Azom received custom orthotic devices, regular therapy, and assistive tools. After months of follow-up, he can now stand and walk with minimal support!

His father Monjur says, “Before HI, we didn’t know how to help Azom. Now he is walking. That means everything to us.”

Because of your support, Azom is on his feet—and on his way to a brighter future.

After fleeing violence in Myanmar, Selim and his family sought refuge in Bangladesh in 2017. Living with polio since early childhood, Selim had spent years unable to walk, play, or attend school.

But everything began to change in 2024, thanks to the support from Humanity & Inclusion (HI) and CDD under the HI-UNHCR funded project. With regular physiotherapy and a KAFO device fitted by prosthetist Md. Jahangir Alam Akash, Selim slowly regained his strength.

Today, Selim stands tall—literally. He walks with little support, plays with friends, and has rejoined school in Class 3. His father dreams of returning home to Burma one day, but for now, Selim’s smile says it all: hope is alive.

His journey proves that the right support at the right time can transform lives.
