Ruby Akhtar, age 33 years, father’s name Rashid Ahmed and mother’s name Rabeya Begum. She lives in the Village of Lombripara, ward # 2, Union-Jaliapalong, Upazila-Ukhia, District-Cox’s Bazar. In 2006, she got married to Belal Uddin, the son of Bodiul Alam of Jaliya Palang Union, who lived in Jummapara, ward#1 in the same union. Their first year of marriage was blissful, in 2007 Ruby Akhtar became pregnant for the first time and the child died during delivery. Since then the inhuman torture on Ravi Akhtar started. In various ways, her husband kept pressuring Ruby Aktar to bring money from his father’s house. He was always physically tortured because she could not bring money due to the poor financial condition of his father’s house. And Bodiul Alam used to say Ruby Akhter, if you can’t pay, then I will get married again. In this way, a few years passed. Suddenly, in 2010, her husband Belal Uddin brought her home with the help of her parents for a second marriage. When Ruby Akhtar said something, she was beaten and her mother-in-law asks her to accept. Ruby Akhter also tries to accept. But her husband does not want to give her HH maintenance expenses. He humiliated her in various ways in front of her younger wife. In 2014, Rubi Akhter got pregnant again and gave birth to a cute baby girl. But her husband Belal Uddin does not want to bear any expenses of Ruby Akhtar. When she asked for something, she was beaten. So Ruby Akhtar could not bear it anymore and decided to leave her husband’s house. Then Ruby Akhtar with her daughter Mushfika Nazneen Bizli goes to her father Rashid Ahmed and says I don’t want to live with my husband Belal Uddin’s house anymore and determined that she doesn’t want to return from her father’s house so Ruby Akhtar wants a small place with her father where she can live with her daughter somehow. .Ruby Akhtar’s father gives him a plot and on that plot his father builds a small house for Ruby Akhtar. In that hut, Ruby Akhtar’s livelihood started with her daughter Bizli. Ruby Akhter works as a day laborer and lives with her daughter Bizli. Sometimes when Belal Uddin wants to see his daughter Mushfika Nazneen Bizli, Ruby Akhtar takes her daughter to meet her father and Belal Uddin hands her daughter Mushfika Nazneen Bizli 100 or 200 taka, and does not bear any other expenses. Currently, Ruby Akhter is not separated from her husband Belal Uddin. Now, Ruby Akhtar lives in a hut with eight-year-old daughter Mushfika Nazneen Bizli. Ruby Akhter works as a day laborer to support herself and her only daughter. Her daughter is reading in class four. In such a situation, the humanitarian aid project for Rohingya and local communities implemented by PHALS funded by Australian Aid, with the support of BRAC, in June 2022, conducted a survey on the poor, widows, abandoned by husbands, disabled, elderly families, child-headed families. In the survey Ruby Akhtar’s name was enlisted and was included in a livelihood training organized by PHALS. She was experienced & trained on sewing work and accordingly planned for buying a new model sewing machine. After receiving the training Ruby Akhter was given financial assistance an amount of Taka 20,000. With the help money, Ruby Akhtar bought an electric sewing machine with 18,000 Taka and with the remaining 2,000 Taka she bought yarn, thread, scissors, etc. At present, her daily income 200-300 Tk/day. She and her daughter are living well by eating two handfuls of rice twice a day. Ruby Akhtar wants to continue her daughter’s study with the money from her sewing work and wants to spend her whole life with her daughter. Ruby Akhtar has no intention of getting married again, she wants to spend the rest of her life in sewing. She is very glad to get the opportunity and express her joy with “My Family Maintaining Machine is Sewing Machine”. She thanked PHALS and Brac for standing for the needy people, also informed and humbly request PHALS to stand beside helpless people like them in future.
