Bangladesh has a proud history of struggling for freedom. After gaining independence in 1971 through a nine-month war, the people of Bangladesh have continued to fight for their rights. The student-led uprising in July 2024 marked a historic moment in the nation's struggle for justice and freedom. People from all communities protested against discrimination, forced disappearances, vote rigging, and the loss of basic human and political rights under the tyrannical rule of the former prime minister. During the July Revolution, young people played a leading role, demonstrating that the spirit of standing up for justice is stronger than ever. The active participation of Gen Z in the student-led protests was the key factor in forcing the autocratic prime minister to resign and leave the country in August 2024.
