MONTHLY HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT: By GHRD(Feb 2010)

Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) Monthly Human Rights Report Bangladesh, February 2010

The 8th of March 2010, marks the occasion of the International Women’s Day (IWD), which is celebrated worldwide. It was launched by the UN in 1913 as a means of promoting and protecting the equal rights of women globally. Incidents of violence against minority women, such as rape and abduction, were reported during February, in Bangladesh. In most of these cases the perpetrators were in a more powerful position than the victims as they were members of law enforcement agencies or political parties. Highly corrupt legal institutions is one of the main causes for the lack of a proper protection system for Bangladeshi citizens and women’s marginalised situation in Bangladesh, due to religious traditions, social injustice, thus making them more vulnerable. The widespread impunity in cases regarding violence against women encourages these continuous violations. There is still a high level of sexual harassment in Bangladesh, which is detailed in Odhikar’s month report. For example, there was an incident reported about a Dalit woman who was raped by a policeman.
