RAJSHAHI, Dec 3, 2019 (BSS)- Speakers at a human-chain programme here
today unequivocally called for forging social resistance and movement to end
violence against women in the society for taking the nation forward

Building to mark the observance of ‘International Women Repression Prevention
Fortnight- 2019’. ‘Female-Male Parity can prevent violence against Women’ was
the main theme of the programme.

entities and voluntary organizations joined the half an hour long programme
from 9.30am.

of Department of Women Affairs Shabnam Shirin, Assistant Director of Human
Resource Development Training Centre Ajgar Ali Khan, Headmaster of Riverview
Collectorate School Begum Monwara Parveen, Local unit chairman of Jatiya

the low-income and underprivileged ones.

people has become an urgent need for prevention of all sorts of violations
and repression against women.
