Bangladesh Nationalist Party acting chairman Tarique Rahman on Thursday said that his party would implement five priority measures for women鈥檚 safety at home and public places as well as professions.
In a Facebook post on his verified page, he said that if move forward Bangladesh, their daughters, mothers, sisters, and colleagues could not live in an atmosphere of fear.
鈥楨very day, too many women face harassment, intimidation, bullying, and violence simply for speaking, working, studying, or trying to live freely. This is not the Bangladesh we dream of. And it is not the future our young girls deserve,鈥� he said.
Tarique said it is undeniable that the digital world now shapes every part of our lives. 鈥楽ometimes my wife and I find ourselves how different on Thursday鈥檚 world is for our daughter compared to the days we grew up in. And like many parents and concerned citizens, we feel both hope and worry. The opportunities are greater than ever, but so are the threats.鈥�
He then shared five urgent priorities that BNP envisions to implement after coming to power. The five measures are a national online safety system, protection protocols for women in public life, digital safety education, stronger community response to violence and harassment, and a nationwide push for women鈥檚 leadership and participation.
Tarique urged everyone to work together to make better future for daughters and for the generations to come.
鈥榃hatever our politics, religion, ethnicity, or gender, one truth must unite us as Bangladeshis: A Bangladesh where women are safe, supported, and empowered is an unstoppable Bangladesh,鈥� he said.
