Future of Covid from Bangladeshi & other minority communities public meeting a success! (recorded)

What a lovely group of passionate people attended the 7th Zoom public meeting organised by BritBanglaCovid, since beginning of the pandemic, on 9th January at 3pm when we could easily have left everything for a day of sunshine!

As usual, we covered Covid-19 in a very intelligent way and for which I am so grateful to my panelists: Professor Patrick Vernon OBE FrHistS, Rokhsana Fiaz (Mayor of Newham) Chris Tang, Rachel Blake, Shirina Ali and others. We have covered from health, community, local authority, and most importantly, from the perspective of structural inequality that had already existed in our community when it comes to the question of Bangladeshis and other minority communities in London.

It was such a pleasure to hear from everyone. There would not have been BritBanglaCovid

without your support and belief in BritBanglaCovid!

Thank you for being part of BritBanglaCovid world!

‘'Bangladeshi group was the only ethnic group...the highest vaccine uptake at 91.7%.'’ This is according to the British government's Covid Disparities Report published on 3 December 2021.

During pandemic mother spreads message of hope & paradise after life through jewellery design in memory of dead son

In memory of her dead son, Hasina Momtaz spreads the message of hope and paradise after life through jewellery design to connect with Muslim community during pandemic. Early life in London Hasina came to the UK in the mid 1970s. She settled in Croydon, south London, from Bangladesh. She could not speak a word of English and was being bullied at school. ‘I remember nobody wanted to be my friend and the teacher assigned somebody to be my friend to look after me and make sure I was okay.’ Although she made south London her home, there was something unsettling for Hasina as a teenanger. ‘So from the age of that 16, 17, I almost felt like I was on borrowed time because the school that I was at there were three or four Bangladeshi girls who all got taken out of school at the age of 16 and ...actually shipped back home… and married off there against their will.’ She confessed that she also felt the pressure from her father to get married. ‘I was determined that at least I was going to go
