Stake attention in this memory
This photograph features a prominent display board in an outdoor setting, likely in Dhaka, Bangladesh. On the left side of the board is a stylized, black and white portrait of a woman wearing glasses and a head covering, identified by the Bengali text below it as "আমিই রোকেয়া" (Ami-i Rokeya), meaning "It's me, Rokeya." The name "রোকেয়া" (Rokeya) is written in red, while "আমিই" (Ami-i) is in black. The right side of the board displays a powerful quote in Bengali: "আমরা সমাজেরই অর্ধাঙ্গ। আমরা পড়িয়া থাকিলে সমাজ উঠিবে কিরূপে?" (Amra shomajer-i ordhango. Amra poria thakile shomaj uthibe kiprope?), which translates to "We are half of society. If we fall behind, how will society rise?". This quote is attributed to "(মতিচূর, বেগম রোকেয়া)" (Motichur, Begum Rokeya), referencing Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and likely her work "Motichur". Below the quote, the circular national emblem of Bangladesh is visible, followed by the text "মহিলা ও শিশু বিষয়ক মন্ত্রণালয়।" (Mohila o Shishu Bishoyok Montronaloy.), indicating that the display is from the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs. The board itself has a light, textured background with a diagonal pattern. Behind the display, parts of a building with windows and a tree trunk are visible. A metal fence or railing can be seen to the far left. The lighting suggests it might be dusk or an overcast day, giving the scene a slightly dim ambiance. The image captures a static public display promoting the significant legacy and words of Begum Rokeya, a pioneer for women's rights in Bengal.
