One of the primary objectives of the ongoing ‘Uncharted Red Waters’ project by the Give Bangladesh Foundation is to ensure menstrual equity for all marginalized women including the Bede community.

 

These women, who are significantly lagging behind in areas such as education and healthcare, exhibit a concerning lack of awareness regarding menstrual health. Approximately 95% of Bede women have no clear understanding of menstrual hygiene, resulting in their vulnerability to various health issues.

 

On November 15, the Give Bangladesh Foundation conducted a survey in the Bede settlements located in Sadar, Taltala, and Sirajdikhan Upazilas of Munshiganj district. The survey revealed a significant lack of accurate knowledge about menstrual health as well as the prevalence of various superstitions.

 

As always, we hope you will stand by us on this journey, not only to raise awareness among yourselves but also to uplift these underserved communities.
