Violation of women's rights
The main working force of RMG sectors, which are playing pivotal in earning foreign currency and sustaining our flourishing economy, is woman. But I feel very dismayed when I observe their wretched condition. I pay visit to my cousin's in Dhamrai, and I see women garment workers falling victim to hassles while getting on public buses. They feel very humiliated as the helpers and bus conductors often take the opportunity to touch them unnecessarily. But finding no alternative, they keep silent. Besides, they are not allowed to get down at their desired places.
In this age of empowerment of women, they are subjected to such kind of harassment. How long will this continue?
