UNFPA
has nominated Additional Inspector General of Police Md Mokhlesur Rahman as one of the global champions for his outstanding contribution to preventing violence against women and girl children. A total of 16 people from 16 countries, including Mukhlesur from Bangladesh, have been nominated as global champion for preventing violence against women and girl children, said an official release of police headquarters. Mukhlusur has long been working in creating awareness against gender based violence like child marriage and repression on women and girl children, and that is why the UNFPA has included the Bangladeshi police official in its activities since 2015. The police official was appointed as the advisor of the UNFPA. In line with the advice of Mukhlesur, ‘Women Help Desks’ were introduced in 15 police stations in the country under a pilot project of the UNFPA.
