Samanta Shermeen

Samanta Shermeen is an emerging political leader in Bangladesh, recently elected as the senior joint convener of the National Citizen party. She played a significant role during the July uprising, advocating for women's rights and representation in the political sphere. Shermeen has publicly condemned acts of misogyny, including attacks on women's sports, and celebrates the achievements of the women's national football team. She believes that the continued sidelining of women post-uprising undermines the revolution's achievements and calls for recognition and respect for women's contributions.
