About Myself

I am a 4^th year Law student at University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is the highest academic excellence and the most famous law school in this country. As a student of Dhaka University, I am fortunately privileged with lot of opportunities to have an access with extracurricular, social and community service activities. Beside my studentship, I am a young researcher, human right activist, young entrepreneur and environmental activist. I am involved with several legal and youth organizations in Bangladesh i.e. BELA (Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association), BAPA (Bangladesh Paribesh Andalon) and BYES (Bangladesh Youth Empowerment Society). I actively work with them for Youth Empowerment, Environment, Sustainable Economic Development, Public Policy, Legal Research and capacity building. At present, I am working for the climate refugees of southern part of Bangladesh that was severely affected by cyclone "Sidr" and "Aila". My special concern is how the life of coastal women is changing due to the climate change. To promote better living, education and sanitation for marginal classes of people I am involved with several NGOs like Citizen's Initiative, Poverty Fighter Foundation and few of my university centric volunteery organizations. Through these organizations, I work for sustainable development, climate issues and ensuring basic human rights for all classes of people. I actively participate in different youth movements for good governance and against corruption. I attended in several International youth conferences at home and abroad. I attended at SAYPC in Sri Lanka few days back and I have been selected as an International Delegate from Bangladesh for the International Youth Forum for Policy, Change and Development to be held in New Delhi from 24th-29th June, 2012. My interests are travelling, public speaking, debating and community service. I love to serve many people, to show my skills and to gain more experience to grow professionally.
