Policy brief

BHW publishes policy brief semi-annually. The first policy brief was published in May 2020 on Fear and Stigma in the Context of Corona Epidemic in Bangladesh. The policy brief is distributed as a knowledge sharing tool to relevant Ministries and various directorates/departments including public representatives both at national and regional levels, academia, civil society, NGOs and other allied organizations.

Media Monitoring report

BHW reviewed health-related news that is published in six mainstream daily newspapers (3 Bangla, 3 English) to capture health related news items and create a resource from which issues can be identified for research and advocacy. The scanning was carried out in terms of themes. Monthly analytical reports were developed on different aspects of health issues and posted on BHW’s Facebook page.

Media campaign report on Covid-19

BHW carried out a study on fear and stigma related to COVID-19. Based on that study BHW launched a well-designed outreach communication campaign to sensitize the wider population against fear and stigma related to Covid-19. The campaign targeted potentially stigmatized people, those who make people stigmatized, and support groups like local administration, political agencies, BGMEA and BKMEA. This initiative was a series of online-based campaign programs that included video spots and other static materials.
