From December 5–9, Sri Lanka became a shared home for hope and resistance as the APEX Women’s Strategising Workshop and the Asian Rural Women Coalition (ARWC) General Assembly were hosted by the Vikalpani Women’s Federation.
Women from 12 countries came together in deep solidarity bringing their stories, struggles, strength, and dreams for change. Representing Bangladesh, youth leader Khansa Rahman from YLCA joined this powerful space where experienced women and passionate youth stood side by side, united by a common commitment to agroecology and justice.
This gathering was more than a meeting it was a reminder that when women rise together, borders disappear and movements grow stronger. With courage in our voices and hope in our hearts, we continue the fight for dignity, rights, and a just future for all.
On behalf of SHISHUK, representing SHISUK Ananna Nari Unnayan Shangstha, Khansa Rahman and Amanna Jahan Biva had joined a Regional two day Workshop at Sri Lanka.

🌍 COP30 | Belém, Brazil 🇧🇷
Agroecology is not just a concept—it's a climate solution. 🌱🔥
At the COP30 side event on November 12, SHISUK Executive Director Sakiul Millat Morshed highlighted a critical truth:
👉 Agroecology offers a real, scalable, and people-centered pathway to climate justice and food sovereignty in Asia.
Despite growing recognition, agroecology remains far from mainstream across many Asian countries. That’s why SHISUK, together with global partners, is pushing for:
✔️ Stronger advocacy
✔️ Increased financing
✔️ Policy coherence
✔️ Integration in NDCs and national adaptation plans
Because people-led agroecology is essential for a just and sustainable future.
SHISUK is proud to raise the voice of Bangladeshi communities on global platforms like COP30—ensuring grassroots perspectives shape climate solutions for the world. ✊🌾🌏
