Integrated efforts to end repression against women stressed

RAJSHAHI, Nov 29, 2023 (BSS) - Integrated efforts of all government and non-government organisations concerned can be the best way of eliminating violence and repression against women.

 
Apart from this, forging social resistance and movement to end violence against women and children has become crucial for facilitating them to make themselves worthy citizens.
 
Government officials and development activists came up with the observation while addressing a post-rally street-corner meeting at the collectorate office premises today.
 
The District Administration and the Department of Women Affairs jointly organised the rally to mark the observance of 'Prevention of Repression and Violence against Women and Children Fortnight-2023'.
 
Additional Superintendent of Police Abu Saleh Muhammad Ashraful Alam, Deputy Director of the Department of Women Affairs Sobnam Shirin and District Children Affairs Officer Monzur Kader addressed the rally.
 
The discussants viewed that all of us should raise our voices and work together to address the social problem collectively as only the government or any other single organisation cannot bring any positive result in this regard.
 
Shamim Ahmed called for strengthening legal assistance and effective enforcement of laws regarding women repression to eliminate the violence against women.
 
Emphasis should be given on creating a congenial atmosphere for women in all spheres so that they are ensured equal rights.
