My mother was a child bride and never worked a day in her life outside the home before my father left her with three mouths to feed. We children added extra pressure on the already poverty-stricken family of my mother. With help of a relative, my mother landed a job in a garment factory. From an early age, I knew I had to be independent and stand on my own feet so that my world doesn’t crumble upon if anyone leaves me,” said Babli Akhter, age 17, from Rangpur Sadar Upazila. Her father abandoned his wife and children when he got married for the second time. Babli, her mother, and her two brothers had to leave her father’s home and move to her maternal grandparents’ house. Babli’s mother, Monira Begum, wanted to marry her at an early age and arranged for a proposal when Babli was in class eight. Their neighbors intervened, pressuring Monira Begum not to go forward with the marriage, based on Babli’s academic merit. In 2017, Babli became a registered adolescent beneficiary of the A2H project. Through life skills sessions she learned about the physical, mental, and social consequences of early marriage. She was well aware of her mother’s atypical decision to postpone marriage for her daughter. Because she felt her mother would be an advocate for others, Babli asked her to attend A2H project meetings and be a Gatekeeper of the A2H project. Monira Begum said, “At first, I reluctantly agreed and started to attend. In the meetings, project staff shared factual information on adolescent health. I learned about the mental and social consequences of early marriage and Babli with her mother, Monira Begum early pregnancy. My life came flashing back before my eyes. My education was stopped when I was in class three due to poverty. My father married me off when I was around 13. I was a child bride, had a miscarriage, and In the middle of her Secondary School Certificate examination, Babli fought against death. I was left with three little children by my husband started losing eyesight in her left eye. After the exam, she had an operation. without any warning.

    Bangladesh - Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on Friday 20 November 2015 Treatment of Jamaat-e-Islami/Shibir(student wing) by state/authorities In June 2015 a report published by the United States Department of State commenting on events of 2014 states: “ICT prosecutions of accused 1971 war criminals continued. No verdicts were announced until November, when the ICT issued death sentences in separate cases against Motiur Rahman Nizami and Mir Quasem Ali. At the same time, the Supreme Court Appellate Division upheld one of two death sentences against Mohammad Kamaruzzaman. All three men were prominent Jamaat leaders, and Jamaat called nationwide strikes in protest” (United States Department of State (25 June 2015) 2014 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices – Bangladesh). This report also states: “On August 10, Shafiqul Islam Masud, assistant secretary of the Jamaat-e-Islami Dhaka City Unit, was arrested, charged, and held in police custody with 154 others for arson attacks and vandalism in 2013. He was arrested and held four additional times in August and September 2014. According to a prominent human rights lawyer, Masud's whereabouts during his detentions were unknown, and lawyers were not allowed to speak with him. Defense lawyers were not allowed to speak before the court during his September 23 and 25 court appearances” (ibid). This document also points out that: “In some instances the government interfered with the right of opposition parties to organize public functions and restricted the broadcasting of opposition political events. Jamaat's appeal of a 2012 Supreme Court decision cancelling the party's registration continued” (ibid).

  • Lamb Annual Report 2020
    ANNUAL REPORT | January 2018 - June 2019 Message from the Board Chairperson I am pleased to give my short message to anyone who reads this report of LAMB’s work for 2018/19. It has been a distinct pleasure to have been on the LAMB board for numerous years over the life of my career in Bangladesh of 33 years as an agriculture missionary then scientist. LAMB has evolved over the years, with this past year striking a distinct position. While we as the LAMB Governing Board use the Carver method of governance, this year is the first year where the reporting is using LAMB’s overall goals as the organizing structure (instead of departments). This is a remarkable step in the right direction whereby the fruits of LAMB’s health and development work can be more effectively measured and reported. This past year represents a renewed commitment toward excellence for the future. Everything from improved contacts with local government and health facilities to the NGO Bureau, points LAMB to a brighter future. LAMB responded to flooding in their area by contacts with the UN agencies and became a conduit for relief, proving LAMB’s resilience in not only their forte of health work but also to respond to the needs of the community. A quick perusal of this report will give the reader a real flavour for where LAMB has been in the past year, the results of years of efforts with the local community, and of course wholeness of healing many persons with various illnesses. LAMB is at a cross road; it can remain the same consistent hospital and development team or it can increase its access to finance and investment to become a successful and sustainable hospital, serving both the poor but also the needs of the increasing lower middle income society as Bangladesh people have higher incomes.
