An awareness rally was held in Feni to raise public awareness and strengthen collective efforts to prevent violence against women and children and curb various social crimes, including child marriage, dowry, drug abuse and juvenile delinquency.

The rally was organised by Feni District Police at the Drill Shed of Feni Police Lines on Thursday.

Speakers at the rally said that initiatives by law enforcement agencies alone are not sufficient to prevent violence against women and children, child marriage, dowry, drug abuse and juvenile delinquency.

Rather, the collective participation of people from all walks of life is essential to eliminate these social problems. In this regard, public representatives, educational institutions, social and religious leaders, and concerned citizens were urged to play a more active role.

The speakers emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of women and children, raising public awareness about crime prevention, and working together to build a safe and crime-free society.

Senior officials of Feni District Police, officials from various government departments, representatives of Beat and Community Policing, NGO representatives, social and civil society leaders, and distinguished individuals from different walks of life were also present at the event.
