Celebration of International Rural Women's Day by Federations Formed and Nurtured by CRSS
October 15 was a special day — a day dedicated to rural women around the world: International Rural Women’s Day. Considering the importance of the day, Elisha Nari Unnayan Federation and Bhola Nari Shakti Federation, both formed and nurtured by the Center for Rural Service Society (CRSS), jointly celebrated the occasion with great enthusiasm.
Both federations organized discussion meetings in their respective offices, followed by colorful rallies on the main roads of their areas. During the discussion sessions, the federation leaders highlighted the significance of the day, while members of the girls’ clubs also shared their opinions on how rural women can advance further in society.
In their discussions, women emphasized that the time has come for them to step beyond household boundaries and raise their voices for change. They noted that every woman should have the opportunity to earn an income—only then will she gain respect from her husband and be able to ensure a happy and dignified life for her children. The leaders also urged women to participate actively in local committees and engage in social activities so that the once-marginalized rural women can gain greater recognition and respect within society.
The meeting also brought forward several key demands:
Landless and female-headed families should be given priority in the distribution of abandoned land.
Women should not be deprived of their ancestral property or rightful inheritance.
The government should provide legal support to protect women’s rights when necessary.
Women farmers and entrepreneurs should have access to easy-term loans.
Separate marketplaces or digital platforms should be established at the union level for women’s products and businesses.
At the end of the program, the federation leaders resolved to formally submit these demands to the relevant government offices soon.
Through this celebration, the rural women reaffirmed their determination to move forward — with the strong guidance and support of CRSS, which continues to empower women’s groups and federations to achieve equality, dignity, and leadership in rural Bangladesh.
