#Bangladesh: As violent protests continued at university campuses, Volker Türk urges the authorities to engage with students demanding an end to the quota system for government jobs amid rising unemployment. buff.ly/3xZ0Kzz

#Bangladesh: Volker Türk calls for accountability after reports of deadly violence. All sides must exercise restraint & security forces must ensure that use of force is in line with international human rights law. Engaging young population is best and only way forward.

#Bangladesh I am reminded of manmohansingh's urge to adopt crowd control techniques in a democracy where people often rigorously vent their opinions & frustrations to strike a balance between the requirement to maintain law & order & the imperative of using non-lethal force.

Today, I met Maria, an 11-year-old cancer survivor getting a new prosthetic limb at a UNDP-supported centre. Her dream of becoming a doctor to fight diseases like cancer is inspiring. Every child in Syria deserves access to healthcare.

Very well done Md Abdul Quayyum UNDP Bangladesh

The Reclaim the Night protests in Kolkata post the RG Kar murder underlined the ever-circumscribed citizenship of women in India--unquestioned citizens in the home, uncertain outside it. I call it the Lakshmanrekha of citizenship. And wrote a book on it sohinichattopadhyay.com/2014/07/the-be…

"Development is about creating hope," says our Achim Steiner at #UNDPEB. For hope in crisis settings, #EarlyRecovery is crucial for paving the way back to normalcy and is a key part of an effective humanitarian response to the onset of a crisis. 📖 go.undp.org/4DB
