🌊🌱 Youth-led Innovation: Floating with Hope 🌱🌊

We, the young members of JFCLR, have built a Floating Bed for the char (river island) communities.
Where there is no land, where everything sinks under water—there, new possibilities rise afloat.

“Our tears — can you not hear? 💧
We want Justice, Climate Justice! ✊🌍

This is the cry of the chars,
and the voice of youth will not be silenced.

In Bania Para, river erosion has swallowed 500 homesteads, leaving people devastated and displaced.
Together with them, we—the youth—are raising our voices from the riverbank itself.
Our demand is clear: Climate Justice and Fair Share. ✊🌊

An entire village in Kurigram, Bangladesh is vanishing. 🌊
50 families in Baniapara already lost their homes.

I was around 11-13 years old at that time. At that time, my teacher, friends and I stood on the side of our main road and participated in a human chain against militancy and terrorism. I noticed that the school teacher was holding my hand tightly🤍

Human rights have long been violated in the remote char lands.
Here are glimpses of life and livelihood from Kurigram’s river islands—
where survival is a daily act of courage.

Rare Adaptation
This is “Pangkha” a traditional fan used by the remote char communities of Kurigram to adapt to intense heat.Made entirely from local knowledge, it’s eco-friendly and meant for shared comfort.
Now preserved at the Char Museum.#CharMuseum #Kurigram #LocalAdaptation

Peyara Apa from the #climate-vulnerable char of Ghanshyampur, #Kurigram, is a talented artisan.
We must turn such talents into a green economy & need govt–non-govt support.
She gifted her crafts for the #CharMuseum.

Where are our #HumanRights ? Give us our #equality. Is equality one-sided?
For ages, the rights of children in the #char areas of #Kurigram have been being taken away.

[KurigramTalk @UpdateClimate12]

For 4 years, I’ve been trying to understand the struggles of neglected char communities in my Kurigram district.
It’s time to bring their stories forward.
Restoring their rights and dignity isn’t a dream — it’s a demand.

[KurigramTalk @UpdateClimate12]

98% of Dhaka’s children have lead in their blood.
One had 67 micrograms — a silent poison stealing futures.
This is beyond a health crisis. It’s a human rights emergency.
No child safety = no real development.
