For two days, the stars have been wearing it by removing the tip of the forehead. Although not in reality, it is reflected in social handles. Many people chose Photoshop technology to publish it. The top female stars of the country are publishing such strange tips on their social handles. Seeing them, other women are also matching the rhythm. Adding the hashtag #OddDotSelfie.
Why suddenly this hashtag selfie! Is this but an expression of sympathy for the people who burned in the fire on Bailey Road or a symbolic protest for the safety of life? No, not one. It is known that this event has been started on the social handle with the aim of building public opinion to prevent women’s violence in front of Women’s Day (March 8).

In which he also published an ‘odd dot selfie’. He also gave a tutorial on how to take the picture. After that, actresses like Jaya Ahsan, Zakia Bari Mom, Nusrat Imroz Tisha, Masuma Rahman Nabila, Mithila, Sarah Alam posted about the issue.
They all posted a selfie on their respective Facebook handles. What is noteworthy is that the tip of their foreheads is slightly moved from the designated place. They consider this inconsistency as the language of protest.

The message of the campaign is, “In Bangladesh, one in every three women is subjected to various forms of torture at home and outside. But in that proportion there is no protest about it. Because in our society women are taught to endure in silence. But we want every woman to break this taboo and raise her voice. Because it is only possible to stop these acts of violence if we speak instead of being silent. And so, the ‘odd dot selfie’ as a protest against women’s oppression; Where as the language of protest, the tip of the forehead, a traditional companion of women’s dress, has been chosen.”
Expressing solidarity with this message, apart from actresses, from the country’s social media influencers to ordinary women are also participating in this protest.
Behind this campaign are actress Sara Zaker and two organizations associated with advertising agency Asiatic, Radio Swadhin and Mangaldweep Foundation. Radio Independent’s RJ Ahana said, ‘Many are asking, how can a tip be a language of protest? I think it is a unity. Through this we stand against violence. All women are talking about the same thing. That’s why we started this campaign.’

On social media, we keep getting likes on our smiling faces wearing tips. But inside the house is the picture of all of us like this? One in three women in the country is a victim of violence. Their beauty is smeared with blood. The tip is slipping. Their dignity as human beings is falling. Come, let us protest against the violence against women.’
Actress Zakia Bari Mammar’s message is like, ‘Violence against women is increasing every year! Now is not the time to be silent. Now is the time to protest.’
Note that in 1975, the United Nations recognized March 8 as International Women’s Day. However, the history of the day is older and wider.u0995u09a8u099fu09c7u09a8u09cdu099f u0995u09cdu09b0u09bfu09dfu09c7u099fu09b0 u09a1u09beu09a8u09be“}”>
