Colourism persists under the shadow of racism, delicately infiltrating society. Racism and colourism, while interconnected, are not identical.
"Bare Your Skin," a series of events that is aimed at building social awareness of skin colour discrimination recently hosted its 5th edition on 11 February, at the EMK Center, Dhanmondi. The concept of the event was developed in conjunction with the American Center and the US Embassy as part of a larger project under the US Department of State-funded "Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor" grant.
Unlike the blatant cruelty of racism, colourism manifests itself in more subtle ways.
