Hello, Assalamualaikum,
It's me, Muntasir Hasan Chadni.
I was a Youth in LP4Y from July to November 2022. When I graduated from LP4Y then I worked for 3 different types of job sectors and my job position also 3 different types. I worked as a Sales Executive position, Writer position and Executive officer position. Now I am a Catalyst!
I loved all of my jobs and gained a lot of experiences. All my office colleagues were very nice, and we all shared lunch with each other. If someone is struggling or does not understand the work, everyone helps them to understand the work.
As a Bangladeshi woman I had to overcome many problems: like when I did a marketing job, that time, my neighbour always put pressure on my family like asking: "Why is your daughter going outside? It's not right, your daughter talking with men."
In Bangladesh, I feel that it's not only the job market that restricts women from working but more the mindset of people.
We really need to work on changing our mindset towards women. All people need to think more positively about women. To change people's mindset, here are a few ideas:
As Catalysts, we can make a presentation about "positive attitude towards women" and then we need to go to rural areas and organize community events. We need to show them the benefits with some examples, and why it is important. Most of the people don't know enough information.
Partners could also contribute to change people's mindset by working with Youth and sharing their testimonies about this topic, then upload them on social media for example.
I think parents need to be more aware of this, they need to be more supportive. To convince them, we can take a nice speaking testimony from the parents and upload it on social media.
And you, do you have ideas to change people's mindset? If so, let's work together!
