Noboprobhaat Foundation

Human Rights · Democracy · Gender Justice · Inclusion

We are their representatives, and we are them.

A rural diverse youth-led movement working since 2018 to advance human rights, democracy, gender justice, and social inclusion for marginalized communities across Bangladesh.

Who We Are

A movement born in a village, led by the community it serves.

Noboprobhaat Foundation began in 2018 in a remote village in Rangpur — founded and led by rural young people of diverse genders and sexualities, Indigenous communities, and marginalized women. We are feminist, intersectional, and rights-based, working not for the community, but as the community.
