According to a World Bank report, gender-based violence (GBV) is a global pandemic that impacts one in every three women at some point in their lives. GBV has become a major source of concern in Bangladesh due to lack of adequate regulations and help lines service, as well as lack of understanding about the current laws regarding GBV.

As a response, after successfully implementing the pilot project, we conceived the idea of 'The Poster Project,' and now we are excited to finally launch the second edition of this project. This project’s partial funding has been provided by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs via Meridian International Center as the implementing partner.
