Many might forget now, but the fact is, without women, this movement wouldn't have succeeded. Despite having 10% quota, women came forward and said "We don't want quota": Mahfuj Alam

In an interview with Prothom Alo, Mahfuj Alam emphasized the crucial role women played in the movement, stating that without their involvement, it would not have succeeded. Despite having a 10% quota, women boldly stepped forward, rejecting the quota system. Alam also highlighted that people are not only seeking a shift in power but a transformation in the very structure of power itself. They desire dignity, equality, and an end to discrimination, along with a resolution to the politics of division in cultural and ideological spaces. People want a society where every voice is heard, and everyone enjoys their fundamental human and civil rights without any conditions or reservations.
