The political and social landscape of Bangladesh has undergone a dramatic transformation in the aftermath of the July 2024 uprising. The movement, largely driven by the younger generation, has shaken the foundations of fifteen fifteen-year of fascist regime. The uprising or revolution reflects an organic evolution—a growing aspiration to establish a more amalgamated multicultural and ethically grounded social order with e...Dr. Mustofa Munir:
Ask almost any woman, and she will have a story about being dismissed by a clinician. Conditions that primarily affect women are under-recognised; maternity care too often falls short; and women who arrive at emergency rooms with classic cardiac symptoms are, by some studies, roughly twice as likely as men to be told their distress is “just anxiety.” The pattern is not incidental.
