Farhan, I’m so so sorry this is happening, this is horrific. I’ve reached out to a couple of organisations who may be in a position to help and will let you know if that’s the case. But I expect many other people here will have better ideas and I hope they can offer useful advice. Much love to you for trying to mobilise more support on this (and for reining in what must be a heartbreaking urge to just scrawl “THIS IS AWFUL AARGHH HELP??!!” in order to put together such an informative post).
Thank you so much Holly. It just feels so relieving to know there are people who care. Hearing you say you’ve contacted some organisations gives me so much hope. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need more details or footage over the crisis. I’m so eager to start a brainstorming session here, because I’m at a loss for ideas on how to act as productively as possible. We’re emailing international news outlets but I’m unsure over how effective it proves to be. Violence is continuing here and there does not seem to be any signs of it subsiding. I’m dreading that Dhaka may be becoming a war zone. As far as solutions go, I can’t think much further than international intervention. I hope more people see this post so that there is more to discuss. I believe this place is brilliant for constructive thinking.
Emailing international news outlets sounds like a good start to me but I expect you know a lot more than me about the most useful action to take here. For all the strengths of this community, rapid response to crises is generally not one of them, and while I hope that some of the other readers are able to offer useful expertise/networks, I want to set realistic expectations of how we might be able to help and I encourage you to continue reaching out to other communities and organisations (e.g. perhaps Amnesty International...I would be very surprised if they haven’t caught it on the news by now, but perhaps it helps them to be in contact with more locals who are keen to work with international support?) I’m struggling to think of the right words here but basically I just want to say: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your support gives us courage Holly. I struggle to find the words to describe my gratitude for your empathy. Let’s hope things get better. I’ll try my best to seek out the most effective courses of action. Honestly, the responses from this forum exceeded my expectations. I’m grateful. Let’s hope more solutions emerge with time.
