A few world renowned advisers and group of devotees sincere and qualified professionals and young university level students are united together to volunteer their services for the emancipation of the poorest of the poor and trodden people.

In order to achieve our vision with our functions the following plan of actions are adopted:

REO has stared its  Networking the Youth program from March 2017 and periodically it is increasing its activities one place to another places. The University level and college level students are taking part of the training. Now the extremism is threaten to the world peace and harmony and it is an vital issues in the world, Bangladesh is not exceptional. The government and law and order are doing according to their way. The youth is the main streamer and driven force of the nation, they will lead in the future.

                                

However, among the youth, the female are more vulnerable in everywhere and specially in Bangladesh.  Women and Girls are disproportionately affected by poverty and discrimination to every aspect in Bangladesh. Maximum women and girls are not allowed to make decisions about their household’s income or tradition and culture forbid them to leave their home. Women have big contribution to their family because they spend their maximum income to their family and educated female can give the healthier baby. So empowerment of women is the total sum of formula to realize the economic development as well as human rights too.

REO and our Global Partner GHRD- Global Human Rights Defence are more emphasized on the empowerment to the female rights and that might reduce the violence against women in Bangladesh.
