Message from the Executive Director
My identity as a human rights activist is a gift from Almighty Allah. I had no knowledge of human rights before the severe fire accident I experienced in 1997, while I was an undergraduate student. As a woman who survived a 60% burn injury, I have lived the harsh realities faced by burn-related women with disabilities in the context of Asian society. Since 2005, my work in the disability movement has helped me realize that women with burn-related disabilities are often left out of both the disability rights and women’s rights movements.Motivated to raise our voices, I founded the human rights organization Voice & Views in 2014. I feel immense gratitude to now be advocating for the rights of women who have survived burn accidents through this platform.
Voice & Views is proud to be both a feminist organization and an Organization of Persons with Disabilities (OPD). Since its formation, I have been blessed with the support, inspiration, and encouragement of my fellow founding members. Colleagues, friends, well-wishers, and supporters—at home and abroad—are the backbone of Voice & Views.We are the Voice & Views Family. We will walk together, always.
What We Do
Voice & Views believes that everyone, regardless of physical characteristics, gender, or disability, deserves dignity and respect. We advocate for an inclusive society, focusing on empowering Bangladeshi women with disabilities, especially burn survivors. With support, they can contribute meaningfully to societal progress. Let’s build a just future together.
