Speakers at the programme demanded equal rights, opportunities with due respect, elimination of social and gender discrimination and justices to empower women across the country.

Addressing the discussion session, women rights activist Nilufa Begum said “Women face various challenges in our country. I am urging all levels of the people to ensure congenial atmosphere for womenfolk.” “Women, particularly girl students participated in the July mass uprising last year.

They played significant role in the July movement,” she said adding, “We must show respect the women community as they are equally contributing to different sectors of development.”
