PARTNER’S RESPONSE ON COVID-19
স্মার্ট বাংলাদেশ বিনির্মাণে পিছিয়ে বেদে সম্প্রদায়
বেদেরা মূলত ঐতিহ্যগতভাবেই নদীতে ‘জল যাযাবর’ বা ‘নদী যাযাবর’ হিসেবেই বসবাস করে আসছিল। বেদে সম্প্রদায়ের নারীরা জীবিকার তাগিদে শহর কিংবা গ্রাম-গঞ্জে ২০ টাকা প্রতি ধর্ম শিঙা আর ১৫ টাকা প্রতি ক্যাচা শিঙা টেনে ও জাদুটোনা দেখিয়ে আয় করে থাকেন। মাঝেমধ্যে ইচ্ছে হলে পুরুষরা সাপের বিভিন্ন খেলা দেখান হাটে-বাজারে।
