About Team

Aging from 16 to 60, coming from different walks of life, from different profession, religion and regions of rural Bangladesh, these women tells us about their un-defeated will to reach their dreams. Let's look at Champa, cricket bat in hand, as she walks through the steep paths of Rangamati or Kamala, as on a mist-laden morning in Sirajganj, she makes her way to her jewellers shop or Sumi, with camera pack slung across her shoulders, pushing her way through the crowds. Some of these stories are individual ones, while others like that of Rokeya from Netrokona or Dipaly from Sylhet, tell us how individual struggles are transformed into collective ones. Rokeya tells a wonderful story of overcoming barriers and creating opportunities for others like her, while Dipaly's story remains one of strife, of pushing against odds and barriers, to hopefully rise to a new dawn.
