About Zobaida

I consider myself an arbitrator to minimize gender inequity through different strategies towards pragmatic solutions.Since experiencing this visible and invisible disruption of gender unfairness made me anxious, I did several studies on gender issues internationally and nationally. I delivered public lectures at the University of Malaya as a visiting professor, conducted workshops and training. I wrote in the leading news papers on International Women’s Day, introduced my own YouTube channel, Just Be You: A Cup of Joy with Zobaida, did a podcast, and spoke for VoA. I spoke at an international conference several times as a gender expert nominated by the Commonwealth of Learning. I spoke at Bett Asia, organized by Microsoft, twice in Singapore and Malaysia. The Finish Program of Finland conducted my interview in Malaysia. An Australian director took my interview and published it vimeo.I am the first actor in independent Bangladesh who performed solo stage drama in 1976 at the Dhaka University open stage. I was a dancer, singer, actor, and reciter. I love to play with my voice, which creates a meaningful approach to the audience, according to my goal. I wrote my autobiography- Third Life-just to encourage other women who have lost their motivation due to some challenges. I am a certified peace speaker with the International Women Peace Group (IWPG) based in South Korea. I love to tune my voice Mary Wollstonecraft, a feminist and philosopher of the 18 th century-It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world.

Youth Dialogue on involving men to end cyber harassment against women

Youth Dialogue on involving men to end cyber harassment against women

Date: Mar, 2023

I have attended as a guest speaker in the seminar on “Youth Dialogue on involving Men to end Cyber harassment against women” organized by the center Men and masculinities Studies on 8 March, 2023 in the International Women’s Day. As an organization CMMS is committed to fostering a world in which everyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexuality, reach their full potential as human beings. The Centre aims at supporting and promoting action research that furthers the development of boys and men as gender equitable human beings. Therefore, CMMS seeks to build bridges among a new generation of researchers, practitioners, and activists who want to promote positive masculinities and contribute to develop gender equitable policies and practices addressing masculinities and challenging patriarchy.

I am a dreamer in my own way. I love to think in my own way and always want to become a better version of myself. I never wanted to become another person because I believe in self-identity, which creates self-respect. Actually, to become another person and imitate another person or transform one's identity into another identity creates complexity, inferiority complex, jealousy, anger, competition, and failure. Moreover, it causes violence if anyone fails to become another person. Total thought is appropriate for women in developing countries. I try to motivate them to become what they are-just be you, this is the status you should bear.

Blogs

This motivates me to write research articles on gender issues by giving special emphasis on women. Actually, I have been working as a gender expert for a long time-sometimes it was my assigned duty. Sometimes my social awareness provokes me to speak on behalf of women, those who have no power to raise their voices against violence. All my research articles were done for the welfare of women along with men, towards the expectation of a gender-balanced society.
