Key Focusing Area

NU recognizes that many people in rural Bangladesh are illiterate. It also recognizes the potential of popular culture as medium for educating the people of Bangladesh on important social and human rights issues.  Working closely with popular local entertainers NU’s Uddyog Theater & Cultural Activities for Human RightsAwareness programme aims to increase social consciousness on human rights and likewise reduce discrimination of women by way of progressive cultural activities aimed at rural communities.  These activities include theater and folk music performances about the duties of local government organizations with respect to the rights of women, their empowerment and dignity.
