Youth Opportunities presents An Essay Competition on What Liberation Means to Me?
16th December 2020 marks the 50th Victory Day of Bangladesh. On this day, in 1971 Bangladesh was born as an independent country after a nine-month bloody war. Three million people sacrificed their lives for Bangladesh’s liberation. After 50 years as an independent country, Bangladesh has emerged as one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
We understand that “Liberation” can mean different things to different people, places and contexts. In 1971, for us “Liberation” meant getting freedom from the genocidal regime and establishing Bangladesh as a valorous and independent country. As we look back and contemplate, we want to ask you the following question:
What does the word “Liberation” mean to you – the youth of Bangladesh?
Submit your answer in the form of an essay to participate in the “What Liberation means to me?” competition, which is organized by Youth Opportunities in collaboration with the High Commission of India, Dhaka. The competition gives you a platform to share your vision and idea of “Liberation” with the whole nation.
