Shahinur Akter

Shahinur Akter works as a social worker at Ovibashi Karmi Unnayan Program. As a social worker her roles are to document cases, assess cases based on field visits, planning the provision of services, providing relevant support to beneficiaries and preparing reports among many others. She has also been tasked to liaise with other organisations like, MoEWOE, BMET, TTC, DEMO and the like. In associating closely to her cases, Shahinur has noted that a lot of her cases are victims of human rights violations, physical and sexual abuse among female migrant workers and forced labour. As she works personally with her cases, she believes that the DTP training program will help communicate better with her cases and advocate them better. She believes that the program will also help her liaise better with more organisations on a national and international level.
