On the evening of June 20, the spotlight was entirely on the brilliant young minds and grassroots entrepreneurs! To celebrate their effort for driving a just and feminist transition, we hosted the 'Feminist Green Action Award 2026' for the second consecutive year.
Moderated by our Country Director, Farah Kabir, the event featured Ekushey Padak-winning veteran actor Afzal Hossain and corporate lawyer & business leader Barrister Nihad Kabir as spotlight speakers.
This year, 3 organisations were awarded across two categories—Youth-Led Green Business and Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs)—for their exceptional contributions to tackling the climate crisis and driving sustainable development.
Award Winners:
🏆 Swachha – Eco-friendly waste management and recycling.
🏆 World Linkup – Promoting climate awareness and green technology.
🏆 Classical Handmade Products BD Ltd. – Manufacturing eco-friendly handicrafts using local raw materials.
Beyond the main awards, we took a moment to honour Sharmin Akhter (a trailblazing woman entrepreneur from Bogura) and Soleman Ali (a visionary solar-energy entrepreneur from Thakurgaon) for their exceptional impact on environmental sustainability and creating local jobs!
The festive night concluded beautifully with a captivating cultural performance by musician Warda Ashraf. 🎶
