Manju Ara Parvin has spent nearly two decades building the institutional backbone of Rupantar, an organization of over 18 years’ standing where she now leads Human Resource Management. Her work sits at the intersection of organizational integrity and social inclusion: she has designed and mainstreamed Rupantar’s policies on gender equality, disability inclusion, and protection against sexual harassment, embedding equity into the systems that govern how the organization recruits, manages, and supports its people.

Beyond her institutional role, Manju has volunteered since 2011 as a counselor for women and child survivors at the Khulna One-Stop Crisis Center (OCC), a frontline commitment to survivor support that has spanned more than 14 years alongside her HR leadership. She also represents Rupantar as its focal person on the GENGOV Platform, a national network exchanging learning on gender-responsive governance.

Manju joined Rupantar in 2007 as Accounts and Admin Officer, moved into project coordination, and has headed HR Management since October 2010, a trajectory that reflects the trust and continuity she has built within the organization over nearly 19 years.

She holds a Master of Commerce in Accounting and an MBA in Human Resource Management.
