Human Chain against Dowry
Star Health Reporter: Foysal Hosen; 4th April, 2020: Girls and women in countries like Bangladesh face violence everyday due to dowry. They face discrimination and get deprived of right to education, health and economic future. Furthermore, by providing dowry to grooms at marriages, certain classes of greedy people are being greedier in demanding more after marriage as well. When they don’t get a positive response from the wives’ part they start torturing and most of the times it leads to fatal consequences.
In order to eliminate this curse from the society, women must be protected. Despite laws and rules, these crimes are not being stopped, because all classes of people are not involved in the implementation of those laws, especially the youth. Therefore, SERAC-Bangladesh with the support from Women Deliver trained up 50 young volunteers in Gauripur Upazilla of Mymensingh and those youngsters organised a large human chain with hundreds of students and mass people in that area.
