To reduce violence against women and children, men need to be taught how to give women dignity. Because the ideal man can never abuse women and child marriage. It is very important to involve men in all anti-violence programs. These were the words of the speakers at an exchange meeting with the local security committee to stop gender-based violence against women and children in Comilla.
On Sunday morning, under the BRAC Gender Justice and Diversity Program Engage Men and Boys Network for Promoting Gender Justice Bangladesh project, a symbolic youth parliament was organized at Pratya Training Center in Comilla with the Committee on Prevention of Gender-Based Violence against Women and Children.
Selina Akhter, Deputy Director, Department of Women’s Affairs, Comilla was present as the chief guest at the meeting. The meeting discussed the perpetrators of torture, where children and women are safe, and what to do to prevent gender-based violence against women and children. In addition, video images on the prevention of gender-based violence against women and children were shown.
The speakers said that we have to work together to build a safe society-state for women and children. Young people must come forward. We have to build a social movement against the abuse of women and children. The perpetrators must be punished.
At the end of the program, the end of the program was announced expressing the hope that ‘do not say all kinds of violence against women and children’.
