Forging social resistance against women repression underscored

City Desk :

Integrated efforts of all the government and non-government organizations concerned can be crucial means of reducing women repression, sexual harassment and child marriage.

Forging social resistance and waging for movement to end violence against women and children have become an urgent need for building themselves as worthy citizens.

As a whole, all people should raise their voice and work together to address the social problem collectively as only the government or any other single organisation cannot bring any positive result in this regard, reports BSS.

Government officials, development activists and other social watchdogs came up with the observation while addressing a daylong dialogue titled “Elimination of Women Repression, Sexual Harassment and Child Marriage” in Natore district town on the twenty-second instant.
