backgrounds, and religions. ‘*Stories of Change*’ salutes these five brave
women for their resilience in the face of adversities. From a
sixteen-year-old spin bowler of the national women’s cricket team to a chief
photojournalist of a daily newspaper, each of these women’s stories portrays
not only their daily struggles for survival but also their perseverance to
succeed as women.
Stories of Change is produced by Pathways of Women’s Empowerment Research
Programme of Development Studies Programme BRAC University in collaboration
with BEGINNING.

constraints.
