Shazzad Hussain
About Me
I am a career civil servant with over eight years of experience in strategic roles across Bangladesh’s public sector, including the Anti-Corruption Commission, National Security Intelligence, Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), and Sadharan Bima Corporation. My work has focused on good governance, public and microfinance, strategic and foreign policy affairs, where legal insight, diplomacy, and development intersect.
Alongside my public service role, I am deeply committed to legal empowerment and civic reform. I serve as a consultant to BEDO, a Bangladeshi NGO, and founded the Debt Defence Desk, a voluntary platform that provides free legal aid to underserved rural women borrowers. As a columnist, I contribute to national and international media— including The Diplomat, The Star, Australian Institute of International Affairs, The Statesman, The Daily Star— on issues of human rights, diplomacy, and institutional accountability.
From diplomacy to development, from law to leadership— my journey is driven by a deep commitment to justice, integrity, and impact. Whether through policy, writing, or grassroots service, I strive to build systems that empower people by balancing strategy with service and policy with purpose.
Welcome to my personal space — where public service meets legal purpose.
