The ULAB CSE Team secured the Championship among 14 universities at the Hackathon on Preventing Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV), organized by the Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC).

Their winning idea, the NIRBHOY ecosystem, is a privacy-first, blockchain-secured platform that transforms any smartphone into a forensic tool, featuring encryption, AI deepfake detection, and integrated mental health and risk support for TFGBV victims.

Congratulations to our talented CSE team for this remarkable achievement and for representing ULAB with excellence on a national platform.
