Nominations open for IPDC-The Daily Star Unsung Women Nation Builder 2021
The fifth edition of IPDC and The Daily Unsung Women Nation Builders Awards launched
PDC Finance in association with The Daily Star has started this initiative since 2017 to honour the unsung heroes of the nation and provide them with a platform where they could be celebrated for defying barriers and contributing towards the socio-economic development of the country. Every year, these change-makers are presented with the "Unsung Women Nation Builders Awards" for their outstanding contributions to the socio-economic development of the country. This year, the nomination categories are Health, Education, Social Welfare, Entrepreneurship, and Covid Hero. An independent jury panel comprising of eminent personalities will be evaluating to the submissions.
Mominul Islam, Managing Director and CEO of IPDC Finance Limited, said, "The narrative of nation-building is overwhelmingly dominated by men. Whatever little credit we spare for women is also limited to those from privileged classes. The indomitable women who have contributed significantly to the development of Bangladesh surviving all odds of disparity and discrimination are largely ignored. We recognize women to correct a historic wrong."
Mahfuz Anam, Editor and Publisher, The Daily Star said, "The unsung women nation builders are the unrecognised heroines of our country's prosperity. We must recognise them and honour them to encourage more such silent nation builders to carry on their work."
