Together for Bangladesh: Rise, Rebuild & Reform

Eyes on Bangladesh began as a movement against the fascist Hasina regime, sparked by the cold-blooded murders of innocent students peacefully protesting against indiscrimination. We demanded accountability for the killings, freedom from autocracy, and envisioned a Bangladesh where peace and justice prevails. In the past month of liberating our country from the fascist regime of Hasina, hundreds of students have been brutally murdered by police and Bangladesh Chhatro League goons. And even after our independence, we continue to face coordinated attacks on minority families, religious establishments, and small businesses.

The Hasina regime has long used attacks on minorities and the deliberate creation of radicalization as tactics to undermine opposition and cling to power. But we, as society, are equally complicit in failing to protect our minority communities and making them feel safe.

We, the students, are committed to rebuilding a united Bangladesh, where harmony and justice triumph over hate and oppression. With our new found independence, now is the time for us to unite, protect and support them, and be their voices. It’s unfair to claim that our minorities are safe when they have not been. We should be determined to eradicate all hatred, bigotry, corruption, and the strategic religious divisions purposefully created by the Sheikh Hasina regime.

Therefore we are launching Project R, a reformative, multi-staged movement with a vision to build a just, inclusive, greener, and cleaner Bangladesh.

Stage One: Rebuilding and Support

Today, we begin our fundraising campaign to:

The Eyes on Bangladesh movement believes in the unstoppable power of Bangladeshi youth. We have always been ready to create a better Bangladesh, suppressed only by the autocratic regime. With our newfound independence, we now begin our journey of reformation.
