JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) Participates in the World Democracy Forum 2023 in Strasbourg, France

Paris, France; November 8, 2023: JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) proudly participated in the prestigious World Democracy Forum 2023, which took place in Trausbourg, France, from November 6th to 8th. The forum was organized by the Council of Europe in collaboration with the Strasbourg City Council, the European Collectivity of Alsace, the Grand Est Region, and the French Government.

Madame Tanne Bithi Sarder, Vice President of JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF), was among the distinguished participants who convened at this international forum.

This gathering provided a unique platform for global thought leaders to engage in meaningful dialogues, exchange ideas, and work toward a more peaceful and democratic world. The forum aimed to foster discussions on the critical role of democracy in promoting global peace.

The World Forum for Democracy brought together a diverse array of individuals, including intellectuals, politicians, activists, experts, and young people from various corners of the world. The central theme, "Democracy = Peace?" was timely, given recent conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, threats to democracy, rising inequalities, political polarization, and the myriad challenges posed by issues such as climate change, pandemics, and technology proliferation.

The participation of JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF), represented by Madame Tanne Bithi Sarder, underscores the commitment of individuals and organizations to promote democracy as a cornerstone of global peace and stability. The exchange of ideas and experiences at the World Democracy Forum 2023 will undoubtedly contribute to shaping a more peaceful and democratic future for all nations.
