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

🐓🌹🌈 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. 🏳️🌈
Amsterdam WorldPride: Dhaka Pride received the Troy Perry Legacy Award. Tushar Kanti Baidya reflects on its meaning:

Humbled and honored to receive the #TroyPerry Legacy #Award for Outstanding #HumanRights Leadership. Rev. Troy Perry’s courage shows that faith and diversity can coexist and inspires me to keep serving my community. Thank you, @OurPrideOrg for advancing #LGBTIQ+ rights. 🏳️🌈

Greatful to the Rainbow advocacy Foundation, Christopher Street West and LA Pride for this. Thank you.

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

#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

Pride does not end with June. Human rights are the foundation of democracy, and Bangladesh must protect dignity, freedom of association, gender identity and expression for all, including LGBTIQ+ people. Our rights, our democracy, every day.
Tushar Kanti Baidya (he/him) retweeted
Today, Dhaka Pride marched at Toronto Pride for the second time, carrying Bangladesh’s flag for every Bangladeshi LGBTIQ+ person who still cannot march freely at home. Until we march on Dhaka’s roads, we will march around the world. 🇧🇩🏳️🌈 #DhakaPride
Tushar Kanti Baidya (he/him) retweeted
For many Bangladeshi LGBTIQ+ people, fleeing is not a choice—it is survival. This World Refugee Day, asylum systems must see what fear hides and protect those forced to erase evidence to stay alive.

Many LGBTIQ+ rights violations in Bangladesh remain untold due to fear, stigma, and safety risks. Inclusive Bangladesh & Dhaka Pride are documenting these experiences for monitoring, reporting, and advocacy.

At the heart of democracy: our identity, our rights. On #IDAHOT, Dhaka Pride reminds Bangladesh that LGBTIQ+ rights are human rights. No one should be forced into silence or denied dignity, safety, or participation because of who they are. #DhakaPride #Bangladesh
Tushar Kanti Baidya (he/him) retweeted
Creativity is more than talent; for many LGBTIQ+ people, it is a language of survival. Through innovation, courage, and resilience, we create new paths, tell our own stories, and become strong voices for our rights.

Our Identity, Our Pride 🌈
For LGBTIQ+ people, identity is a daily act of courage—existing, resisting, and living authentically despite barriers.
It’s not something to hide. It’s power. It’s pride.
