Welcome!
Hey there,
Thank you for subscribing to Daughters are Equal Children– a space to speak out against the unfairness of inherited laws in Bangladesh as well as unpack their complexity.
My name is Maskuda Aziz, a Bangladeshi journalist deeply committed to environmental justice and economic rights, with a special focus on women. For over three years, I've been advocating for a fair inherited law for Bangladeshi women. You can find out more about me and where I’m coming from on this issue here
Bangladeshi inherited laws are deeply rooted in religious norms, and questioning these laws can lead to accusations of blasphemy. But silence also has consequences. I hope that by speaking out and sharing my own experiences, more women will come forward and share their stories, and together we can break the silence and bring change to the way inherited law works in Bangladesh.
If you have a story to share or questions for me, ideas, suggestions, etc., please let me know by replying to this email.
Don’t forget to fill out this short survey; it will help me better understand your needs around this issue and help me improve the newsletter.
Thanks again for subscribing. I’ve been eagerly awaiting your arrival.
Warm regards,
Maksuda Aziz
Hi maksuda! This is me,Badhon. I'm glad that at last there's a platform where I can share my situation. I'm not that brave girl who can share her problems in social media. My father deprived his Three daughters from the land which was in the name of my Amma (she is no more).. he is responsible for the death of my mother..he mentally tortured us. .he said that he has power of attorney but he didn't show any paper...I wanted to do something bt relatives and well wishers said there is no benefits of doing that rather we will be defamed..as a rotten child.
Alles Gute für dieses neuen Projekt. Ich hoffe es wird sehr hilfreich sein für die Frauen, diejenigen wer hat kein ahnung über die gesetzlichen Bestimmungen.
