JU VC for resisting sexual harassment
SAVAR, Nov 29, 2018 (BSS) – Vice-Chancellor of Jahangirnagar University
(JU) Professor Dr Farzana Islam today urged everyone for resisting sexual
harassment on women.
She came up with the remarks while speaking at a view-exchange jointly
organised by Bangladesh Mahila Parishad and Student Welfare and Counseling
Centre of the university at the seminar room of Zahir Raihan auditorium on
the campus marking the International Women Repression Prevention Fortnight-
2018 and the World Human Rights Day.
Addressing the function, JU VC said, “Prevention of sexual harassment is a
social movement. We must have to forget the discrimination between men and
women and consider ourselves only as human being.”
“If we want to wake up, we will have to know, listen and read. We have to
create a situation under our control. To prevent such crimes like sexual
harassment, we will have to be physically and mentally capable,” she added.
Presided over by Director of Students Welfare and Counseling Centre
Professor Rasheda Akhter, JU Treasurer Professor Sheikh Md Monzurul Huq and
President of the central committee of Bangladesh Mahila Parishad Ayesha Khanm
addressed the function among others.
