The two major reasons behind violence against women and children in Bangladesh refer to dowry and child marriage. Keeping these in response, SERAC-Bangladesh with the support from a leading advocacy organisation for ensuring women’s rights, Women Deliver started a project named ‘Social rising for dowry and early marriage prevention (Jagoroni)’, according to a press release.
The project is aimed at increasing social awareness, empowering people with more information on law and improving communication to convince people to stand against this social menace.
