UNB, Dhaka :
Chief Justice M Muzammel Hossain on Friday urged all concerned to be more cautious and responsible so that the women who fall victims to violence get justice.
He made the call while addressing the inaugural session of a workshop at a city hotel as the chief guest.
International Women Judges’ Association and Bangladesh Women
Judges’ Association jointly organised the workshop, ‘Family and sexual violence victims’ rights to justice’.
Observing that violence against women is a global phenomenon, the Chief Justice said only law is not enough to curb this menace. “All must be responsible and conscious, too.”
He also underscored the need for ensuring education, empowerment and employment for women to bring an end to violence against them. “All from the family to society and state-must be mindful about it.” Muzammel Hossain observed that there will be a marked decline in violence against women if the media increasingly run anti-discrimination reports.
