The Dhaka Times Desk We are all familiar with the name Traveler. Although familiar with it, the word travellets is completely unknown. However, girls travel is somewhat different from boys. There are several rules they need to follow.
Of course, that is not very unusual, where girls have to face the whole society before they step out of the house, how will the issue of girls walking around be established? The word travelette is used to refer to female travelers.
A story of two female travelers emerged in a report by the Daily Star. That is what is being highlighted today. Mansi Tuli and Sakia Haque - both are two friends of Dhaka Medical. They have traveled to many districts of the country because of their desire to travel. They thought that Bangladeshi girls are always interested in traveling. But the problem becomes the issue of girls' companionship and security. Mansi and Sakia knew there was also a group of girls around the world called Travelettes, which had been encouraging girls from different countries to travel for a long time. With the hope of building that group in Bangladesh, these two created an online platform in November last year, a Facebook group named 'Travelettes of Bangladesh'.
Although Travelettes of Bangladesh is very young, it has already spread successfully among girls. Already the members of the group have crossed 6 thousand. Travellettes have already visited Narsingdi and Mainot Ghats. Surprisingly, many women stepped out of the house for the first time through this event, walking around on their own. Travelettes founder Mansi considers this as their success.
It is known that within this short time, Travellets of Bangladesh is going to organize 'Travel and Travellets Photography Exhibition-Season-1'. The organizers have organized this to encourage all types of travel in the country. They have organized this event to encourage women travelers as well as travel as a whole.
Mansi, one of the organizers and one of the founders of Travellets of Bangladesh, told the media, 'We are committed to promoting travel as a whole. We want to organize such exhibitions on a regular basis. Also speaking to the group, it will be known that the issue is not only with the two admins. Interested girls are working for Travelettes of Bangladesh in various educational institutions including Dhaka University, Eden College. In the future, the organizers want to spread this event throughout the country.
Travelettes of Bangladesh is committed to furthering the interest of women travelers in the country. So an exhibition was organized for the first time. Which especially encourages women travelers.
