In a conference at the London School of Economics, speakers warned about the serious environmental, ecological, social, and economic impacts that the planned unilateral construction of Tipaimukh Dam by India will have on the millions of people of Bangladesh and northeastern India. The Voice for Justice World Forum called for a joint feasibility study between the governments of Bangladesh and India before proceeding with any dam construction to find a fair and equitable solution to the potential environmental disaster. It was emphasized that as an upper riparian country, India has a moral and legal obligation to consult with Bangladesh before building such a dam. Dr Hasanat Hussain MBE, Convenor of the World Forum of the Voice For Justice, chaired the conference, which was praised by British treasury minister Stephen Timms for convening in London. He informed the conference that the British government will always support the oppressed globally and collaborate with organizations like VFJ to advocate for human rights and justice for the underprivileged. The first world forum of VFJ was held at the London School of Economics by a coalition of its European, US, Canadian, and Asian chapters. The event was attended by expatriate Bangladeshi academics, experts, VFJ members, and various individuals from the British-Bangladeshi community in the UK. Former planning and science minister Abdul Moyeen Khan and former Bangladesh high commissioner to the UK Sabih Uddin participated in the discussion online. Concerns were raised about the potential construction of barriers on the rivers Surma and Kushiara, which could lead to a humanitarian crisis for millions of people who rely on these rivers. Dr K M A Malik from the University of Cardiff presented a paper on Climate Change in South Asia, focusing on Bangladesh, at the conference. Dr Mahbub Khan from California State University discussed the 'Rights of Migrant Workers in Gulf States', while Hasan Mahmud, director of Sharia Law of Muslim Canadian Congress, presented a paper on 'Women's rights in Islam'. The speakers emphasized the need for formal bilateral agreements between migrant-sending states like Bangladesh and migrant-receiving states in the Gulf to protect the rights and dignity of migrant workers. They called on the governments of host countries to prioritize the human rights of migrant workers who contribute significantly to their economies through remittances. Hasan Mahmud reaffirmed in his paper that Islam and Sharia law promote and protect women's rights fairly and justly. He expressed his regret that the misunderstanding and distortion of these laws over time as a result of social and cultural biases have resulted in discriminatory treatment towards women in numerous societies. Professor Anthony Booth, who leads International Education at Christchurch University in Kent, UK, as well as Prof. Shamsul Islam Choudhury from Roosevelt University in the US, Dr. Abdur Rahman and Dr. Zakia Rahman from Limmeric University in Ireland, Dr. Stephanie Eaton from Kingston University in the UK, Luthfur Rahman Choudhury, and the joint convenors of the World Forum of Voice For Justice from London, Kent, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Newcastle all participated in the question and answer sessions at the end.
