Call for Nomination: SRHR Award 2022

Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is a critical area to work on the social context of Bangladesh. Yet, appreciatively, many promising individuals are working in the arena of SRHR for years and contributing vehemently. However, those contributions are not always explicitly visible. Even the professionals working in the area of SRHR often face resistance but demonstrate much courage while doing their jobs and commitments. In recognition of the hard work and dedication of those individuals (including health service providers, teachers, researchers, journalists, lawmakers, government workers, politicians), Share-Net Bangladesh has launched the SRHR award since 2020, and this year it will be the third year of announcing this award.

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 in September 2022.
