‘Celebrating 25th Years of Struggle for Women’s Empowerment and Equality’, the silver jubilee celebration of BNPS, was organized at the Chayanat-Sanskriti Bhaban Auditorium in Dhaka on 28th June. Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury, Honorable State Minister for Women and Children Affairs, graced the event as the Chief Guest. In her speech the Honorable State Minister said, despite many bold steps taken by the government to prevent violence against women, incidences of violence are continuing. Victims of violence have to take legal actions against their perpetrators. Families and society have to come forward to assist the victims.
