We will work to make women brave

Rima Sultana Remu, a young Cox’s Bazar volunteer who was included in the list of the 100 best women in the BBC poll, said: “I think it is easier for women to move forward if they are brave.” Women are falling behind in many things for lack of courage. Many problems are not solved because women do not dare to say anything. Women of this nature are in trouble everywhere in towns and cities. His suffering makes me sick. I am interested in working with all of these. Not a single Bengali woman I love will be left behind. I will work to make every woman brave.

Speaking to Ittefaq on Wednesday, Rima added that at first she couldn’t believe what she was seeing when she saw my name on the BBC’s 100 women list in the media on Tuesday. I ran happy and grabbed my mother. Then I ran to Shiuli Sharma mam, President and CEO of the NGO ‘Jago Nari Unnayan Sangstha’, which inspired today’s recognition. He said, I’ve worked so long on quirks. The responsibility has increased since today. As such, my journey has started anew.

Rima, 19, the second son of farmer Abdur Rahim and housewife Khaleda Begum of Rajarkul West Sikder Para in Ramu, Cox’s Bazar, has approved HSC this year. This BBC honor has made this indomitable young woman from Ajparagaon more confident. As a ‘Jago Nari Unnayan Sangstha’ volunteer, Rima went to the neighborhoods, Rohingya camps with like-minded young women and shared the good works of society from literacy of older women. It works to raise awareness about why it is necessary to prevent child marriage, violence against women, why women are left behind. Since the beginning of Covid-19, your team of volunteers have been working tirelessly. They have also been working to raise awareness of rape, starting with anti-rape demonstrations in recent times.

In response to the question of why and how she became a volunteer, Rima said that after going through many obstacles, she is not mentally ready to work for others. My mother and primary school teacher Khaleda Madam gave me courage. Taking advantage of his bravery, I went to Ramu’s office from ‘Jago Nari Unnayan Sangstha’. They did the test with teamwork. Satisfied with the work, he gave me the responsibility of a project called ‘Girls Ambassadors for Peace’. I became an ambassador for peace. I am now a member of Young Women Leaders for Peace at Cox’s Bazar.

Remu said he passed HSC on Autopass this year and is now preparing for admission to college. In addition to volunteering for an NGO, he works as a coordinator for a spoken English organization in Tuition and Ramu Sadar. Younger sisters Sanjida Mushtari Iman and Kamrul Hasan are studying at Jihad school. The government has no desire for itself. In general, I want the creative talent of young people to be evaluated. The trailblazer called on the government to take steps to equip young people in their respective fields through on-demand training.
