Females aged between 13-34 fall victim to violence: Study
Females aged between 13 and 34 fall victim to gender-based violence, most of whom are students, according to a study.
Prof Mofizur Rahman, chairperson of mass communication and journalism department at Dhaka University, led the study "Women in Media: A Study on Media Reporting on Gender-based Violence".
He presented the findings at a seminar held by the Chittagong chapter of Bangladesh Nari Pragati Sangha (BNPS) at Chittagong Press Club yesterday.
To end such violence, the researchers recommended giving more importance to punishments and protests than to incidents of violence and building awareness among the people.
