Manosh Bangladesh was delighted to participate in the 8th Share-Net Bangladesh SRHR Knowledge Fair 2023, held on September 7, 2023, at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC). The theme of this year’s event was “SRHR and Education,” and it brought together government officials, experts, and advocates from across the country to discuss the importance of comprehensive SRHR education in shaping a healthier and more empowered future for Bangladesh.
As a partner organization of Share-Net Bangladesh, Manosh had a stall at the event where successfully published and distributed our knowledge summary book titled “A Trauma-informed Pocket Guide to Sexual and Reproductive Health Decision-Making: Self-Agency and Emotional Empowerment” We are excited to share this important resource with the community and to help raise awareness about the importance of trauma-informed SRHR decision-making.
Moreover, on this special occasion we offered and conducted three mental health assessment tests where attendees were able to choose one assessment for themselves completely free of cost. Successfully more than 20 people took part and our mental health professionals guided them based on their assessments. This data will help us to better understand the mental health needs of young people in Bangladesh and to develop more targeted interventions. Additionally, we provided attendees with access to the PDF version of our publication and free gifts by scanning a QR code from our X banner.
We were pleased to see a strong turnout at our stall, and we were able to engage with many people about the importance of mental health and SRHR education. We were particularly interested in hearing from young people about their experiences and perspectives.
We are grateful to Share-Net Bangladesh for inviting us to participate in this important event. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with them to promote mental health and SRHR education in Bangladesh.
