Our team member @sarabanbgd represented us at #IGLYOAMC26 in Maastricht and took part in the IGLYO Board election—amplifying the voices of LGBTIQ+ youth, refugees, migrants, South Asian queer diasporas and people of colour across Europe. 🌈

Dhaka Pride mourns the untimely passing of Shimla Hijra, recipient of the 2026 Xulhaz Mannan Memorial Award of Diversity. For over a decade, she stood beside Bangladesh’s LGBTIQ+ community. Her legacy of compassion and solidarity lives on. Rest in peace, Shimla. 🖤
We are Bangladeshi. We are LGBTIQ+. And we are proud of both. 🇧🇩🏳️🌈 Our identities, stories and dreams belong to Bangladesh. Dhaka Pride celebrates the courage to live with dignity, authenticity and pride. Our identity. Our pride. #DhakaPride

Who gets counted when Bangladesh reports on women’s rights? Tushar Kanti Baidya highlights how trans, intersex, Hijra, lesbian and non-binary people remain missing from Bangladesh’s CEDAW narrative—and why that erasure matters. #CEDAW #Bangladesh
💜 On Wear It Purple Day, we stand with LGBTIQ+ youth in Bangladesh—choosing understanding over judgement and support over rejection. Every young person deserves safety, dignity, respect, and the freedom to live as themselves. 💜 #WearItPurpleDay #LGBTIQYouth #Bangladesh

🐓🌹🌈 Our logo carries a story of Bangladesh, queerness & love. Inspired by rickshaw art, the rooster signals a new dawn, wears Pride colours and marches with a rose—honouring queer resilience and South Asian hijra heritage. From the heart of Bangladesh, we march for love. 🏳️🌈
When Pride cannot take the street, it finds a way to fly. 🏳️🌈

🇧🇩🏳️🌈 From #Bangladesh to #Amsterdam with Pride! #DhakaPride carried our flag, voices and dreams across #WorldPride 2026. At the International Pride Walk, we marched for love, dignity and freedom—bringing home global solidarity for Bangladesh’s #LGBTIQ+ community. #DhakaPride
🏳️⚧️ From Dhaka Pride to WorldPride Model UN! @sarabanbgd joined the programme to simulate UN processes and explore human rights instruments for advancing LGBTIQ+ rights—reflecting our commitment to building the next generation of human rights defenders. 🌈
Dhaka Pride and founder @tsrkbd received the Troy Perry Legacy #Award at #Amsterdam #WorldPride. Dedicated to every #Bangladeshi #LGBTIQ+ person fighting for #dignity, #equality and #freedom. We carry forward the legacies of #TroyPerry and #XulhazMannan. 🏳️🌈🇧🇩
Queen Máxima inaugurates Amsterdam WorldPride 2026, where Dhaka Pride will represent Bangladesh—a country where LGBTIQ+ people still face discrimination and denied rights. Her visible support reminds us that love, dignity and equality belong to everyone. 🏳️🌈🇧🇩🇳🇱
Dhaka Pride stands with @CSD_Berlin after the tragic incident at CSD Berlin. This is a reminder that LGBTIQ+ people are still not safe—whether in Europe or Asia. Together we reject violence, defend our identities, and choose love over hate. 🏳️🌈 #Weareinthistogether
#DhakaPride team member Mominul Islam is featured in #Amsterdam #WorldPride #Magazine 2026. Their journey—from hiding his identity in Dhaka to celebrating #Pride without #fear—reminds us that visibility is resistance and every #queer person has the right to exist. #WorldPride2026
🏳️🌈 Every flag in the #ZeroFlagsProject represents a country where love or identity is still #criminalised. #Bangladesh is among the 63 countries where homosexuality remains in the criminal code. At #WorldPride2026, @dhkpride stands for visibility, dignity and equality for all.
Xulhaz Mannan’s name now stands on Amsterdam’s Walk of Pride—a lasting tribute to his courage and vision. As Dhaka Pride joins WorldPride Amsterdam 2026, we will carry his legacy and represent Bangladesh with pride. 🏳️🌈🇧🇩 #XulhazMannan #WorldPride2026
