In Bangladesh, oppression on women has become a common scenario. Everyday we are find news in the electronic and print media about violence against women which is increasing at an alarming rate. Sexual harassment, eve-teasing, rape, fatwa based killings have become a daily routine while law enforcers including our Home Minister are claiming that law and order situation is under control. Adopting many strategies and policies, the govt. has to play pivotal role to ensure a congenial environment especially for women living in the rural areas of the country. Implementation of a new women policy and CEDAW law could change the condition of women. Materialising such a job is not an easy task for the govt. while most of the religious parties are against it. It is the core duty of the present govt. to establish a gender discrimination free society.
