Organization for Women’s Development in Bangladesh (OWDEB)

To build a society which fulfills all fundamental rights of the deprived people where Social justice, peace, harmony and ecological balance prevails.

Ensure a qualitative achievement of women’s equal right, establishment of her dignity and empowerment through their own participation towards a democratic society.

Ensuring participation of both men and women for promoting Democracy, Human rights and establishes a situation of socio-economic and cultural justice for achieving a sustainable democratic society.

OWDEB - Organization for Women’s Development in Bangladesh is a women led socio-cultural development organisation started on February 01, 1995. Formally, our organization initiated its activities in 1994 by a group of people including Teacher, Writer, Ex student politicians, Artist , NGO activist, EPZ experts, Home maker – so many professionals who had a common interest to serve deprived people for a better life, still they are engaged with us through different activities of organization .

The core concern of OWDEB‘s development strategy are effective participation of the women in decision making process that effect their life and livelihood, gender equality, social justice, cultural & economic growth with equality, sustainable and productive resource management and finally environmental protection and regeneration.

We believe that Education is the Key Tool to promote a just society in Bangladesh and the process of Re Gendering must be ensured at the same time. We also believe that if both Women’s Men’s need and trust are not taken into account in our regeneration and development activities, we can not do more about women’s human rights in our society. In this age of globalization and technology, OWDEB feels responsible to provide extensive information about rights based development issues to everyone in its network .

We also believe that everyone is entitled to have the right to access necessary information and local people are actually the experts – no one understands better than them the different challenges they face and needs that they have as women and as men. From this point of view, OWDEB aims to promote sustainable development through a holistic approach. Since its beginning, OWDEB's development interventions, staff, volunteers and network have grown considerably. OWDEB has opened its door as part of a process towards good governance, organizational transparency and accountability.

Now we would like to take the opportunity to express our highest appreciation to our members at the grassroots level, General Committee, Executive Committee, Donor agencies, government organizations, networking partners and other concerned institutions for the cooperation they have given us from the very beginning.

We are trying to form a new alliance with same mentalities NGOs, CBOs in Greater Chittagong to make us more capable but we need more support from our friends . We believe that a mutual trust between Donors and OWDEB will make more opportunity for OWDEB to work for a better society and for sustainability of socio-culture based approach of OWDEB .

All supports help OWDEB to be more practical, confident to manage critical situation about our works and identity at Community to Local and National level and a far sight ness what we have to do to build OWDEB as an efficient sustainable pro-people institution.
