Global drama putting women’s rights centre stage
Seven, a travelling documentary play recounting the real-life ordeals of women who have encountered violence, rape and trafficking, has become a fulcrum for debate and action among students in Bangladesh
In a lecture theatre at Rajshahi University in Bangladesh, seven people take their places on stage. They begin to speak. “Hafsat Abiola, Nigeria,” says one. “Mu Sochua, Cambodia,” says another. “Anabella de Leon, Guatemala,” says a third. They perform monologues based on interviews with women’s rights activists who have experienced domestic violence, gang rape and human trafficking.

Record exports seen rising as BD woos US consumers
Investors looking for alternatives amid the global slump would do well to check out Bangladesh.
Exports rose to a record last month even as other regional economies reported continued declines, and economists say shipments will increase as Americans rush to buy cheap clothes. Bangladesh’s central bank forecasts inflation will slow and the World Bank predicts growth will accelerate to 6.7 percent this year, making it one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
“Over the medium-to-long term, we are bullish on the growth prospects of Bangladesh’s industrial and export sectors,” Raphael Mok, Asia analyst at Fitch unit BMI Research, said by e-mail. “The country boasts a large and youthful population, as well as relatively low labor costs.”
