With the ongoing unrest and systemic challenges threatening the rights and future of Indigenous communities in Bangladesh, especially in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, we must engage in urgent discussions. The Bangladesh Feminist Archive is hosting an online panel discussion featuring three indigenous leaders. The panel’s focus is to deeply explore the issues of land dispossession, identity struggles, and human rights violations.
The discussion will cover the following key points:
– The current situation of indigenous peoples, who are increasingly facing discrimination and conflict.
– Potential solutions for securing land rights, preserving cultural identities, and ensuring equitable representation.
– How can the feminist movement and broader civil society support indigenous causes within Bangladesh’s evolving political landscape?
