Human Rights, Good Governance and Gender Development
Youth in a country is the most viable and potential human resource both in population structure and social structure. The provision of services for youths is crucial in order to support them in setting up their lives, both professional and personal. Development in Bangladesh depends upon the proper utilization of youths because they constitute about one-third of the total population and 37.7% of the total civilian labour force. But the youths of this country are suffering from various socioeconomic problems, environmental constraints and political instability such as unemployment, lack of technical education, financial crisis for self-employment, frequent disaster, religious backwardness, religious fundamentalism, political ignorance etc. Active participation of an educated, trained, persevered, organized, disciplined, skilled, risk-free, motivated and dedicated youth force in the development process will ensure the development of the country. Targeting to achieve the anticipated goal, SUBAH is implementing different seminars, training sessions yard meeting with the women. The goal is “to build the capacity of youths in social participation, leadership and income generating through the integrated activities to prepare them to become leaders for bringing positive changes in society”.
Major focus of this program is:
Capacity building of youth: The project will build the capacity of youth in leadership, conduction of social campaigns, values of social harmony, role of youth in social development, religious harmony, different income generating activities, gender, climate change, environment conservation, resource management, etc.
Engagement with economic development activities: Poverty is one of the major causes of the involvement of youth with radicalism and different anti-social activities. To reduce extreme poverty, the project creates opportunities for youth with different income generating activities. SUBAH will provide support to educated youth to get a job to different job providers through providing training in CV development, organizing job fair, one to one dialogue with job providers, etc.
Promoting social volunteerism: The project engages youth forum members and leaders with volunteer activities. Under the project at least 500 youth will engage with social development related volunteer activities e.g. tree plantation, organizing campaign to prevent eve-teasing, child marriage, road accidents, cleaning public places, etc.
Campaign for gender development: The project engages youth to organize campaigns on gender development. The youth forum organized a series of courtyard meetings on preventing Early Marriage, Eve-teasing, and violence against women. The youth forum played an active role to promote girls’ education and stop school dropouts of girls by counselling parents. The youth forum stopped some child marriages by engaging the local administration.
Development of intercultural understanding: the project will work with community people to the development of religious harmony through organizing community meetings by youth, organizing dialogue with different faith leaders, dialogue with government officials and policy actors, organizing a cultural event, etc.
