Students from the ULAB course "Introduction to Political Thought" conducted the research under the direction of their instructor, Dr. Rathana peou van den Heuvel. Around 150 women were interviewed during the 3 months of active research. As the students encountered the women in field, they were faced with a new reality, even for a Bangladeshi undergrad. This Exhibition reflects the fights, or rather journeys, of these spirited women.
