She said health right is the basic pat of women's human rights which is yet to be established in the society.
Pointing to government's commitment to achieve Millennium Development Goal (MDG) in health sector within 2015 Advocate Masuda said massive awareness is needed to build a culture void of repression on women to ensure women's health rights.
BMP General Secretary Ayesha Khanam said although many steps have been taken to resist violence against women, the incidents of repression are increasing day by day.
" The main reason of repression on women lies in our culture and this is the time to organise the women community even in remote areas. We also need to re-evaluate our programme to take further steps to resist violence against women," she added.
Presided over by parishad President Hena Das, the press conference was also attended by its Vice-president Bela Nabi, Nargis Zafar, Hasna Banu, Khaleda Mahbub, Selina Khalek, Edlin Malakar, Golam Osman, Advocate Maksuda Laily and Dipti Rani Saha.
