March for Unity 2024, Bangladesh
The March for Unity 2024 began as a student-led movement demanding reforms in education, employment opportunities, and social justice. Through the eyes of photojournalism, the struggle was vividly captured—processions of young men and women with placards in hand, their faces filled with determination, and streets echoing with calls for equality.
Over time, the movement grew beyond campuses. Ordinary citizens—workers, farmers, teachers, and parents—joined shoulder to shoulder with the students. Photojournalists documented this historic transition: images of rickshaw-pullers holding banners alongside university students, These powerful visuals told the world that this was no irrational uprising, but a collective cry for justice.
The momentum became unstoppable. On 5 August 2024, under mounting public pressure and mass participation, the authoritarian regime collapsed. Cameras captured jubilant crowds celebrating in the streets—tears, laughter, and chants of freedom filling the air. The fall of the regime marked not just a political turning point, but the triumph of unity.
