Joined June 2016
Presence in: Bangladesh
Focus: Citizenship & Identification, Education, Health, Peace-building & Transitional Justice

MOVE Foundation is the only youth-led organization in Bangladesh which is working on de-radicalization, peace-building, and legal and inclusive education. It works mostly with qawmi madrasa students (Islamic religious schools), urban youths, and policy-makers. It was formed in 2013 with an objective of increasing human security and access to justice, modernising madrasa education and addressing internal deficiency issues of the unregulated qawmi madrasa system. Since then it has been working for more youth engagement in security and rights issues, preventing violent extremism and political and religious intolerance, and producing properly trained and motivated citizens to serve according to global priorities.
