Women politically sidelined since August 5
Before the anti-discrimination movement, there was the anti-quota movement. We, the female students of Dhaka University, used to march in protests. Initially, boys also participated, but due to pressure from the student wing of the ruling party in male dormitories, their numbers gradually decreased. However, since female dormitories did not face the same pressure, we could bring out large processions. Students from institutions like Badrunnesa College, Eden College, and Dhaka Nursing College joined in significant numbers. This spontaneous and substantial participation of women played a crucial role in the movement. We believed that if enough women participated, the ruling student wing would not dare to attack us.
Ensure respect and remuneration for teachers
It is said that education is the backbone of the nation, but the condition of those who build that backbone in Bangladesh is quite pitiable. There is neither appropriate respect nor adequate remuneration for them. Despite ongoing discussions about this issue for a long time, their plight seems to be worsening day by day. A recent example of this was seen even after the mass uprising, where teachers were physically assaulted. Numerous teachers from various schools took to the streets demanding job regularization and salary increases, but their voices went unheard.
