![]()
Considering the safety and security of coastal women living in disaster-prone areas, JAGO NARI has developed a women-friendly, waterproof protective bag. It is more than just a bag for carrying essential items; it can also serve as a life-saving buoy during emergencies, such as tidal surges.
Under the PROHOR project, and with the support of Start Fund Bangladesh, these innovative protective bags were distributed to 350 women in Taltali Upazila.
The distribution event was attended by the Upazila Executive Officer (UNO), Mr. Atish Sarkar, as the chief guest. Special guests included Shelina Akter, President of JAGO NARI; Mr. Yunuch Faraji, Chairman of Sonakata Union Parishad; and Hosne Ara Hasi, Executive Head of JAGO NARI.
The objective of this innovation is to keep essential belongings secure for coastal women during disasters, enhance their safety, and provide life-saving support in emergency situations.
Innovation rooted in local realities, protection for coastal women—this is the commitment of JAGO NARI.
