What Nusrat Saw
When DIHAN Foundation's Director Nusrat Jahan Monne was treating the wounded in July 2024, she noticed something that no medical report was recording.
The boys whose bullet wounds were healing were not getting better. They sat in silence. They stopped eating. They flinched at sounds no one else could hear.
Their bodies were recovering. But something deeper had been broken, and nobody in the room was talking about it...
"I kept thinking we are treating the wound on the outside. But what about everything happening on the inside?
These young people witnessed things no human being should ever witness. And when the bandages came off, they were sent home as if it were over.
It was not over. For many of them, it was only just beginning.
That observation became a programme. That programme became a commitment. And that commitment will not end until every survivor of July 2024 and every vulnerable Bangladeshi carrying an invisible wound has access to the mental health care they deserve.
How the July Movement Inspired a New Generation of Citizens
In July 2024, Bangladesh witnessed one of the most significant youth-led movements in its recent history. Across the country, young people stood together demanding accountability, fairness, democratic values, and a future built on justice and opportunity.
The movement demonstrated the strength, courage, and determination of a new generation committed to positive change. It highlighted the importance of civic participation, social responsibility, and the power of collective action in shaping a better Bangladesh.
