Call for Nomination: SRHR Award
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is not an easy area of work in the social context of Bangladesh. Yet, gladly, many individuals are working already for years in the SRHR sector, and contributed with countless—and mostly invisible—improvements to contribute to better SRHR services for the people here. Even they often face resistance and show much courage while doing their jobs. In recognition of the hard work and dedication of these individuals (including health service providers, teachers, researchers, journalists, lawmakers, government workers, politicians), for the first time in our country, Share-Net Bangladesh is going to present an award this year.
The awardee will be selected by a panel of juries after a rigorous review process on an individual’s work, activities, achievements and public contributions in SRHR. The award will be announced and handed over in the closing session at the biggest national SRHR Knowledge Fair to be organised by Share-Net Bangladesh on 6 December 2020.
Interested individuals are requested to click here to fill out and submit the nomination form. We would request to submit the form by 24 November, 2020.
