As part of our ongoing work under Activity 4.4, we joined the national launch of the 2025 Global 16 Days of Activism, where Bangladesh called to âUNiTE to End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls.â
đ Did you know?
According to the Violence Against Women Survey 2024,
8.3% of women in Bangladesh have faced technology-facilitated violence â and the rate climbs to 16% for young women aged 20â24.
This rise in digital risks highlights the urgent need for collective action.
During the campaign launch, government officials, Union Parishad Chairman & members, GUIDANCE Project team, Local woman groups, civil society Organization (CSO), School Teacher, youth leaders, and tech regulators united to address the growing threats of online harassment, cyberstalking, deepfake misuse, and gendered disinformation.
Key commitments were emphasized:
đ¸ Strengthening laws and enforcement
đ¸ Ensuring survivor-centred reporting and support
đ¸ Holding technology platforms accountable
đ¸ Expanding digital literacy and positive online norms
đ¸ Coordinated national action to prevent online harm
đ¸ Accessible protection and services for survivors
Under the Nagorikata programme, we continue aligning our advocacy efforts to promote inclusive, safe, and rights-based digital spaces for women and girls.
