Middle East conflict is hitting Bangladeshi migrants hard.
OKUP Chairperson Shakirul Islam told The Daily Star:
“A significant number of Bangladeshi migrants are daily wage earners with irregular work. They are bearing the brunt of the crisis.”

On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we honor Shapna Akter—who overcame hardship abroad, returned stronger, built her own business & won the ‘Indomitable Woman’ award. 💪 #WomenEmpowerment #ReturneeMigrant #OKUP

Most discussions on migration highlight success & remittances, rarely the human cost. Returnee migrants face detention, unpaid wages & trauma. On #InternationalMigrantsDay, @OKUPbd calls for dignity, protection & justice.

We must dismantle the structural barriers that block marginalized populations and migrants from accessing healthcare. Real progress against AIDS requires equal access and participation in treatment and prevention for everyone.

They sustain our economy with hard labor abroad. Yet, upon return, many face damaging social stigma.

This #16DaysOfActivism, OKUP calls to end this psychological violence. Give them the respect they deserve.
