Call for Proposals: Fellowship Grants Opportunity 2020

CGSRHR and BLAST are jointly providing 10 fellowship grants (5 from each organization) opportunities to Bangladeshi early and mid-career researchers, development professionals, legal practitioners, artists, and human rights activists interested and working on gender and sexual and reproductive health and rights issues. The fellowship’s grants will allow the selected candidates to develop innovative communication and advocacy materials around issues related to addressing and reducing GBV.

The Centre for Gender and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (CGSRHR) at BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health (JPGSPH), BRAC University, in collaboration with Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST) is implementing “Strengthening Voices and Capacities for Addressing Gender-Based Violence” project in Bangladesh, which is funded by CREA, with an aim to reduce gender-based violence (GBV) in Bangladesh.
