Murshida Akter

Murshida Akter works as the General Secretary of NDWWU. Her job roles include, fundraising, networking and maintaining liaison with other organisations that promote similar causes and to represent her organisation in a national and international level. Murshida is working on organising many events, which include World Human Rights Day events, World Migrants Day events, National Victory Day events and the like. NDWWU is an organisation that helps protest for human rights violations especially when domestic workers are victimised. Some of the campaigns that NDWWU runs are campaigns for fair wages, workplace safety and social security. Since NDWWU is engaged with protection of labour rights, Murshida would like to participate in the program to better understand the conditions of migrant workers in her country and strengthen her knowledge of the laws and violations against migrant workers. She believes that NDWWU will incorporate the learning and experience of her DTP training in its course plan for future endeavours.
