Within these golden moments, some rural, educated, young men evaluated this situation very critically and found that the blessings of the country’s advancement failed to touch the lives of the majority of the rural poor, ethnic minorities, indigenous people, tobacco workers, and women, where human rights violations were a routine part of the existing power structure. Due to partial and unbalanced development mechanisms, the poor became poorer and exploitation appeared vigorously in our economy. To combat this injustice, exploitation, and inhumanity and to establish a model democratic poverty-free society, on July 01, 1995, those young people of Hijuli village under the leadership of Asaduzzaman Selim formed a non-profit, Non-Government organization named MUK, honoring the Bill of Human Rights. Dedicated to serving neglected children, women, youth, ethnic/indigenous people, tobacco workers, the Dalit community, victims of human trafficking, and socially vulnerable people, MUK obtained its legal registration from the Department of Social Welfare, Meherpur on 27.08.1997 and MUK obtained registration from the NGO Affairs Bureau (NGOAB) under the Prime Minister’s Office on 25.11.2004 (Registration No: 1985), which has been successfully renewed until 24.11.2029.

As MUK’s activities grew up, the necessity of a central presence in the capital became essential to facilitate regular meetings and coordination with various national and international partners, network members, and government ministries and departments located in Dhaka. Driven by its mission and vision to further broaden its impact, since 2021, MUK has expanded its operational scope by establishing a Liaison Office in Shyamoli, Dhaka, and is currently implementing its development activities across 7 districts of Bangladesh.
