Sramik.org – A People’s Platform for Workers’ Rights and Dignity in Bangladesh

Sramik.org is a national, people-driven civic platform dedicated to protecting the rights, dignity, safety, and legal protection of all workers (sramik) in Bangladesh. The platform exists to ensure that workers—regardless of sector, location, or employment status—are aware of, able to claim, and protected by their constitutional and fundamental rights.

Sramik.org is not a government or political party platform. It is an independent civic initiative created in the spirit of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, which affirms that sovereignty belongs to the people and guarantees equality, dignity, and protection of law for every citizen.

Constitutional Foundation of Workers’ Rights

Workers are not beneficiaries of charity; they are rights-holders under the Constitution. Sramik.org is guided by key constitutional principles, including: Equality before law and equal protection for all citizens. Right to life, dignity, and personal security, which includes safe working conditions. Freedom of association, including the right to organise and unite peacefully. Protection from exploitation, forced labour, and inhuman treatment. Right to legal protection and due process

Sramik.org works to translate these constitutional guarantees into practical awareness, collective strength, and civic protection for workers.

Founder’s Statement: 

Founded under the constitutional vision of Dr. Raju Ahmed Dipu, LL.M. (UK), Sramik.org reflects a principled belief that workers’ rights are not privileges granted by power, but constitutional entitlements guaranteed by the sovereignty of the people. Guided by legal integrity, civic responsibility, and non-governmental independence, the founder’s approach emphasises peaceful organisation, rights awareness, and protection of workers through lawful and constitutional means—without political dependency or exploitation.

Dr. Dipu’s vision is rooted in the conviction that a nation cannot be just if its workers live without dignity, security, and legal protection. Through Sramik.org, he seeks to transform fear into awareness, isolation into unity, and silence into lawful civic voice.Founder’s Slogan:
“When workers know their rights, exploitation loses its power.
