British High Commissioner presents MBE insignia to Shaheen Anam
  Bangla Press Desk: British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke on Wednesday formally presented the insignia of the Honorary Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) to Executive Director of Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF) Shaheen Anam. “I am delighted to present this award to Shaheen Anam on behalf of His Majesty The King,” Sarah Cooke. At the ceremony held at the British High Commission in Dhaka, she said, “Her tireless dedication and commitment to human rights, social justice and gender equality have made a lasting impact in Bangladesh, reflecting the shared values and enduring partnership between our two countries.” Anam was named an Honorary MBE by His Majesty King Charles III in February 2025 in recognition of her outstanding contributions to social justice, inclusion and gender equality in Bangladesh—values that are deeply shared by both the UK and Bangladesh.
The UK has maintained a longstanding partnership with the Manusher Jonno Foundation for over two decades, working collaboratively to advance human rights and empower marginalised communities across the country, said a media release. Through this partnership, the UK government has supported over 460 grassroots organisations, enabling transformative work that promotes dignity, inclusion and justice for all.
