🌏 When Citizens Shape Change

We are pleased to share the latest op-ed by our Innovation for Change network member S M Shaikat published in the Dhaka Tribune’s 13th Anniversary Special Supplement under the theme “Building Bangladesh Better.”

The article explores why the next chapter of development must put citizens at the heart of decision-making, alongside economic growth, education, youth employment, responsive institutions, resilient cities and sustainable development.

A timely reflection on why citizens should be active partners in shaping change not merely recipients of it.

🌐 Every click matters. Every child deserves a safer internet.

Children are growing up in a digital world full of opportunities but also risks. From cyberbullying and online scams to privacy breaches and harmful content, digital safety starts with awareness.

🛡️ Here are 5 simple ways to help keep kids safe online:

• Talk openly about their online experiences.
• Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication.
• Teach them never to share personal information with strangers.
• Set healthy screen time and device boundaries.
• Encourage them to speak up if something online makes them uncomfortable.

The goal isn’t to keep children away from technology it’s to empower them to use it safely, confidently and responsibly.

Let’s build a digital world where every child can learn, explore and thrive safely.

Technology should empower, not harm.

As digital spaces become central to our lives, we are also witnessing the growing challenge of Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) from online harassment and abuse to digital surveillance, non-consensual sharing of intimate content, and coordinated attacks against women and marginalized communities.

At Innovation for Change (I4C) South Asia, we are working with partners across the region to address these emerging threats by strengthening digital safety, building community resilience, supporting human rights defenders, and promoting inclusive approaches to technology.

Our work focuses on:
🔹 Understanding how technology is being misused to silence voices
🔹 Supporting safer digital participation for women and vulnerable communities
🔹 Connecting researchers, activists, and innovators to develop practical solutions
🔹 Promoting digital rights, accountability, and a safer online environment for all

The future of technology must be built on dignity, safety, and equality.

Five Years of Silence. Five Years of Resistance.

On 15 August 2026, we mark the fifth anniversary of the fall of Afghanistan—a day that ushered in the systematic erasure of the rights of millions of Afghan women and girls.

For five years, they have been denied education, work, freedom of movement, and equal participation in public life. Yet their courage and resistance continue to inspire the world.

Join the Light of Freedom Women’s Movement in standing with Afghan women. Raise your voice. Share their stories. Demand action.

Together, we call for:
✊ Freedom
⚖️ Justice
🕊️ Human dignity
❌ An end to gender apartheid in Afghanistan

Help Afghan Women. End Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan.

The latest China Dissent Monitor (Issue 12: April–June 2026) by Freedom House provides valuable insights into patterns of public dissent, civic resistance, and state responses across China.

For those working in human rights, digital rights, civic space, and democracy support, this report is a valuable resource. It documents trends in collective action, labor protests, public grievances, and online expression—helping us better understand how citizens continue to navigate increasingly restrictive environments.

Documenting dissent is not only about tracking events; it is about preserving evidence, identifying trends, and informing policies that protect fundamental freedoms.

We encourage researchers, policymakers, journalists, and civil society organizations to explore the findings.

No one willingly leaves their home, their community, their memories and everything they have spent a lifetime building.

People often speak about refugees as statistics, but behind every number is a story of loss, resilience and survival.

I did not leave my homeland because I wanted a better view or a more comfortable life elsewhere. I left because staying became impossible. Like millions of others around the world, I was forced to leave by insecurity, persecution and the failure of those entrusted with protecting the rights and dignity of their people.

The hardest part of displacement is not crossing a border. It is carrying the weight of separation from your homeland while trying to rebuild your life from nothing. It is knowing that the place you call home remains in your heart, even when you can no longer safely return.

As a Afghanistan Board Member of Innovation for Change, I am reminded every day that behind discussions on migration, refugees and human rights are real people whose lives have been profoundly shaped by decisions made by those in power.

No one should be forced to choose between their safety and their homeland. Dignity, security, and the right to belong should not be privileges they are fundamental human rights. Rahil Talash
