Many LGBTIQ rights violations in Bangladesh remain untold due to fear, stigma, and safety risks. Inclusive Bangladesh & Dhaka Pride are documenting these experiences for monitoring, reporting, and advocacy.

At the heart of democracy: our identity, our rights. On #IDAHOT, Dhaka Pride reminds Bangladesh that LGBTIQ rights are human rights. No one should be forced into silence or denied dignity, safety, or participation because of who they are. #DhakaPride #Bangladesh

Creativity is more than talent; for many LGBTIQ people, it is a language of survival. Through innovation, courage, and resilience, we create new paths, tell our own stories, and become strong voices for our rights.

Our Identity, Our Pride 🌈
For LGBTIQ people, identity is a daily act of courage—existing, resisting, and living authentically despite barriers.
It’s not something to hide. It’s power. It’s pride.

Amid ongoing mob violence and lack of effective state protection, we urge LGBTIQ community members to stay cautious and prioritise their safety. Safety is not silence—it’s a strategy for survival. #SafetyFirst #DhakaPride #InclusiveBangladesh

Harassment and violence against LGBTIQ people under the guise of journalism must stop. This is a clear human rights violation. Everyone deserves safety, dignity, and the right to gather freely. Ensure accountability now.
