SRHR Dictionary

Many SRHR terms, such as period, contraception and sex, are widely known in English, but not in Bangla. Practitioners from various NGOs and INGOs working in the field often need to communicate with local people in different areas who are unfamiliar with English terms. Madiha, a young girl who is working at an NGO reported, ‘It was difficult for me to communicate with the local people on my first field visit, as I am not familiar with many SRHR words in Bangla. Moreover, the internet connection in that area was unsatisfactory so I was unable to instantly look for translations on Google.’ 

With support from Share-Net International, RedOrange Media and Communications created an app called the ‘SRHR Dictionary’. This app has the most used SRHR words translated from English to Bangla. Once you download the app and install it in your phone, all you have to do is type the word whose translation you’re looking for in English, and the app will give you the translation or equivalent word in Bangla.
