Today, we honor **Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain**, a trailblazer for women's rights, education, and social reform in South Asia. A visionary, Begum Rokeya (1880β1932) defied societal norms to advocate for gender equality and established schools for girls at a time when their education was widely discouraged.
Her legacy reminds us that empowering women is essential to creating a more just and equitable world. At the Centre for Community Development Assistance (CCDA), we draw inspiration from her work as we strive to uplift communities through education, inclusion, and sustainable development.
π‘ **What we can learn from her:**
- Educate and empower girls to break cycles of poverty.
- Challenge discriminatory practices that limit opportunities for women.
- Advocate for inclusive development that benefits all members of society.
Letβs continue her mission to build a future where every girl can dream, learn, and lead.
