Sheikh Hasina says - “It is not possible to establish women's rights and stop violence against women only by enacting laws and observing women's day. Rather there should be proper coordination at government and non-government levels." ( Daily Star, March 9, 2009 ed)

I have to applaud her for concisely and accurately summing up the inefficieny of laws and propaganda if the basic governmental roles in enforcing and ensuring are not well observed. However, it is still quite pivotal to implement social policies and regulations that will directly better the conditions, prospects, and livelihoods of Bangladeshi females. Furthermore, free mandatory education for all females, especially leading to high school and beyond is required too. Also, counseling is needed in ordered to rehabilitate victimized females back into the society where they don't have to bear the stigma of violated ones. But it is indeed assuring that the newly-elected PM is at once tackling the issues of sexism and instigating counter-measures to abate it.
