Report on the July Anti-Discrimination Revolution in Bangladesh
The July Anti-Discrimination Revolution in Bangladesh was a historic student-led movement that took place in 2024. It began as the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement, formed by student activists demanding fair treatment in the civil service quota system. Many students believed that the existing system was unfair and needed reform.
The movement gained strength through peaceful protests, marches, human chains, and blockades across the country. A turning point came when a student leader, Abu Sayed, was tragically shot by police. His death deeply moved the nation and inspired more people to join the protests.
On August 5, 2024, the movement reached its peak, leading to a mass uprising that resulted in the fall of the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s autocratic regime. This event brought a major change in Bangladesh’s political landscape.
After the revolution, several student leaders were appointed as advisors in the interim government. The movement became a symbol of youth power, unity, and courage. It showed how young people can shape the future of democracy in Bangladesh.
