About us:
Bangladesh Human Rights Networks (banglarights.net) actively promotes human
rights reforms both within Bangladesh and across geographical and political
boundaries, and support women, children, and marginalized communities in
resisting social oppression. It looks at attempts by global forces
(powerful governments, TNCs, international organizations) through
surveillance, covert mechanisms and military and economic superiority to
exploit and control smaller nations and communities.
After successful workshop February 2001 on " Effective Use of the Media and
the Internet to Promote Human Rights", the group decided to launch
Bangladesh first Human Rights webportal www.banglarights.net. It has made
rapid inroads into the international scene. It is now recognized as the
gateway to information on Human Rights in Bangladesh.
In WorldInformation.org conference, Brussels -2001, banglarights.net was
one of the three international sites that were selected for discussion by
an international group of NGOs and media and activist organizations.

The Mission:
The Bangladesh Human Rights Network (BHRN) is an independent platform for
media professionals and activists who believe in a society which is
respectful of the rights of all its members. The platform will form
indigenous criteria for human rights practices, taking into account the
realities of majority world countries. It will champion principles of
democracy, give voice to people at grassroots levels and address social
inequalities and domination at national and international levels.
