Here’s a good thing you need to know: An organisation in Bangladesh called Travelettes is aiming to empower women through travel. It is the first and largest female online travelling organisation in Bangladesh with over 75,000 female members, and they conduct workshops in schools in each district and talk about menstrual health, self defence, the liberation war & Bangladesh with female students. We speak to Dr Sakia Haque, founder of Travelettes about what inspired her to start this organisation.
