Impact is often best understood when leaders take time to listen on the ground, sometimes over a simple cup of tea at a local tea stall. 

Australian High Commissioner Susan Ryle, Canadian High Commissioner Ajit Singh  and the Executive Director of BRAC came together in the coastal city of Chattogram, southern Bangladesh, to reflect on the Strategic Partnership Arrangement - a partnership that has been integral to Bangladesh’s development journey. 

BRAC’s work in Bangladesh is supported by our strategic partners the Governments of Australia and Canada, along with a range of partners.

Globally, an estimated 840 million women have been subjected to some sort of violence - that’s one out of three women across the world.

Meet Shahana Akter from Bangladesh, one of the 840 million women who have been subjected to violence. Shahana ran away from an abusive marriage and saved her unborn daughter from infanticide. She gave birth alone without any support from the family.
