I am living the reality of the 2024 Quota Reform Movement, a protest that has resonated across Bangladesh, echoing in the halls of both public and private universities, led passionately by students and teachers alike. This movement, known by protesters as the Bangla Blockade, stands in opposition to the governance of Sheikh Hasina.

Under Hasina's tenure, our nation has seen a concerning curtailment of democratic values, and the absence of a fair quota system in public services has only magnified these fears. For a country like Bangladesh, where 70% of our population is under 40, and where every year, 2 million of us enter the job market, an unbiased educational quota system is not just a right—it is a necessity.

This petition seeks the attention and the intervention of the global community to take notice of these ongoing issues and exert diplomatic pressure on the government of Bangladesh, urging democratic reforms and a fair, equitable quota system. We believe in the power of collective voices, and so we relay our urgent plea for your support. Stand with us. Sign this petition for the future of Bangladesh.
