Nagorik Uddyog, 'Ciitizens Initiative’ is a Bangladeshi NGO that works for democracy at the grassroots and lobbies for accountable institutions. They support marginalised women and men to understand and exercise their rights, and access justice.
One World Action has been working with Nagorik Uddyog for over ten years. We currently support the Partnership of Women in Action (PaWA), a coalition of informal women workers, Dalits and poor women in Dhaka and through Nagorik Uddyog, Bangladesh Dalit Human Rights.
