Activism Against Gender Based Violence
#Social Awareness / Strength in solidarity: 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that spans from 25 November, the United Nations Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day. This campaign aims to mobilise individuals and organisations globally to raise awareness and take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls.
476 women raped in the last six months
What has the state done to prevent violence against women and girls?
Why gender sensitivity is still the call for the day
Women who opt to work in garment factories, instead of working as a domestic help or getting married, are often viewed as women of “loose character.” In fact, this is the case for all working women, be it RMG workers, or journalists, photographers or field researchers.
Women on the move
Bangladesh hasn't ratified the Domestic Workers Act itself, making it difficult for the government to require the same of destination countries.
