About this Petition

A National Emergency

Gender-based violence in Bangladesh has reached crisis levels. Despite existing laws, women and girls continue to face horrific violence with impunity.

Shocking Statistics

  • Over 1,000 women murdered in domestic violence annually
  • Acid attack survivors number in thousands
  • Workplace harassment is endemic
  • Online harassment targets women activists and journalists
  • Child marriage remains widespread despite being illegal

Legislative Demands

  1. Fast-track courts for gender violence cases
  2. Mandatory police training on handling GBV cases
  3. Witness protection programs
  4. Emergency response hotlines in every district
  5. Economic support for survivors leaving abusive situations

Stand With Survivors

Your signature helps demand the systemic change needed to protect women and girls in Bangladesh.
