Join HRCBM's Advocacy Movement
Bangladesh religious and ethnic minorities have endured 75 years of pillaging and massacres. Such genocidal crime cannot be allowed to continues. Join us to educate the world about the plights of Bangladesh Minorities. Every year Human Rights Congress for Bangladesh Minorities (HRCBM) organize various activities including peaceful protest rallies, exhibitions, rehabilitation services, parallel and side events of important United Nation activities such as CSW (Commission on the Status of Women) and conferences of UN Human Rights Council to share reports of the human rights abuses against minorities in Bangladesh. Our organization was founded exclusively by volunteers and people who can not stay indifferent to the injustice and discrimination which exist in the Bangladesh society.
Securing Justice
Legal Action
Bangladesh Supreme Court is the highest institution of law in the country and the instrument through which domestic remedies can be sought to ongoing plights of the minorities in Bangladesh. HRCBM in partnership with HPPB filed a PIL (Public Benefit Litigation) to secure justice for country’s minorities. It was our first step towards exhausting domestic remedies. To date justice is not serve despite court’s favourable ruling. HRCBM will continue to explore its legal options until Justice is served.
