Women rights and deprivation in Bangladesh.

Introduction
Wife: why you are biting me? What I have done? Did I anything wrong? I did not. (Crying) Husband: why? I will not bite you? Tell me the reasons. Have you brought 1 ! #rom your $arents? They had $romised me to give 1 ! ta"a

ta"a within one month o# our

marriage. Where are they now? They have run away and hidden themselves not to $rovide me the money. Why I will %onsider you as my wi#e? &ut you also %ould not $rovide me the money in si'th months a#ter marriage. I have no intention to $ut a wi#e who %an not $rovide me dowry. (et out #rom my home now) (Husband "i%"ed her wi#e strongly) This is an incident of slum in Dhaka city named *gargau slum so%iety where the husband was biting his wife for dowry. The agreement of their marriage was that the girls parents will provide the groom 10 000 taka within 1 month of their marriage. !nfortunately the poor parents could not provide that money and the new married woman is biting by her husband. This dowry problem one kind of deprivation of e"ual status of women is occurring very often in our country. #lthough the modern society is saying the e"ual rights for both men and women$ but society of Bangladesh does not change much. There is a phrase %%whatever the world gained! hal# is done by men and hal# is by women. The universal truth indicates the contribution of women in the entire development. But in all cases women are not meeting their human rights properly. The gaining amount is less than their deprivation. &rom birth to death women are facing discrimination and violence at the hands of the society the state and the family. 'atching feature is women are now against the violence and struggling against deprivation to gain their rights in indeed. To be efficient and successful women are struggling with unfavorable situation created by nature and society. They are going out of home to get a new era of being self depend and to make her efficient in possible approaches and sectors.

Women rights and deprivation in Bangladesh.

The scenery is not finished here. Women are struggling but most are not being able to reach their destiny. They are not getting proper treats in every perspective. But they could not enhance their power and ability in every perspective of life. (uch as girls who are getting opportunities to be educated most are not allowed to have a )ob after completing study. *n verse working women are facing troubles from both their family and workplace perspectives. #nd the rural women have no bounds to their miseries. They are facing dowry problem early marriages eve teasing acid terrorism divorced and negligible life various health problems etc. (omewhere women are suffering$ and somewhere women are struggling and fighting against deprivation. Women who are trying to change the evil status of survivors are also facing lots of social problems. Basically society and culture are responsible for deprivation. Women are the part its entire economic growth. +oreover they are presenting better performance than men do in some cases. ,aving e"ual rights they are till depriving. The development process has started. But till now women are depriving from their demands. (ocial awareness of Bangladeshi society needs to rise.

Women rights and deprivation in Bangladesh.

Background
Bangladesh a coastal area beside the Bay of Bengal achieved independence through a bloody liberation war in 1./1. *t has made a remarkable progress in many sectors in the last thirty%si0 years in spite of many obstacles. The development of such a newborn country hardly could develop e0cept both men and women contribution. But unfortunately women are not getting proper evaluation like men from the earliest time. #fter 12years of independence women are not completely free to do something according to her demands. They are little bit like $u$$ets in most cases where the handling power is in mans hands. Though the Bangladesh government of several elections has taken different steps to develop womens worse situation and status but till now women are depriving of their human rights. *t is logically true that the situation before thirty%si0 year has changed in vast. But some sectors are still negligible especially women society to society. Bangladeshi culture and society absorbs women as -nd status. Whatever facilities women have got they are struggling and facing problem to their road of success. #lthough lots of obstacles are standing in ne0t to their way they are performing better than me in most practical and technical cases. Women represent not only half of the worlds population but also control and influence the growth of the other half. !nfortunately they are not getting proper promotion to ne0t step for their contribution till now.

Before 12years women were not so out of home right now. But present environment is pretty different. Todays women are not only for reproduction and traditional housewives activities but also for individual identity and social developments prosperity. 3ow%a% days women are working in corporate sector education and administration department medical and health development activities and features national security services etc.$ those were out of imagination before thirty si0th years. 4irls are regular in school with different creative productivity. But all girls of Bangladesh are not going to school till now though the number of given facilities are growing high. #ll educated women are not

Women rights and deprivation in Bangladesh. getting ade"uate opportunities and support from their family to work outside in challenging environment. Working women are facing several problems in their working sector which deprives from their basic human rights. There is common myth about women rule in society$ an original sin story in which 5ve leads #dam off target by making him eats from the forbidden apple. Thats the way to show the rule of women which has been set from ancient times$ a woman must keep under a restriction like a wild animal she must be controlled and shaped so that she can be useful and productive. *f woman is out of the restrictions she will definitely take her man into the darkest path and destroy him and herself. This common myth is running in our society till now which causes deprivation of rights or victims of violence. Deprivation of rights and violence against women are merely relevant. 6iolence represents an under burden on both physical and psychological natural ongoing system. 6iolence is basically a cluster of dowry rape acid attacks for re)ection of marriage proposals from men teasing and e0tra marital affairs including wife beating etc. the protection form these kind of violence is a basic right of women which they are not getting. 7ther deprivations are une"ual wages se0ual abuses and harassment different types of psychological affairs etc. Women are human being an e0cellent creation of almighty who have e"ual rights like men to en)oy a peaceful prosperous life through their demands in the world. But unfortunately illiteracy unemployment poverty traditional view societys negligence toward women confidence and remaining silent etc. are pushing women to be deprived from their basic rights in Bangladesh.

Areas of research
#t this topic of my research paper * will state and investigate the following areas. Specific reasons behind women are suffering. +ost of women of Bangladesh are illiterate and poor. They are leading miserable leaves under poverty line. &or that reason they do not understand their rights and thus they are suffering. They have less confidence which turn them to be silent though they are suffering from deprivation. Tradition and culture of Bangladesh is responsible to make women weak and less confident toward their rights and force to obey mens decision. The present situation of Bangladesh women society. The present situation of Bangladesh women society is better in employment but worse in crime sector. Today women are getting opportunities to get education work in offices opportunities to be self dependent and to contribute directly in economic growth by reorgani9ations. But in other hand the rape dowry suicide murder acid terrorism se0ual abuses psychological effects physical problems and infertility wages discrimination etc have increased. About the sufferers of deprivation and their struggling life. *ncluding female child girls adult women women society is suffering and struggling to con"uer the battle of success. The victims of acid terrorism rape psychological effects marital se0ual problems dowry problems etc are leading a miserable life$ but trying to win the battle of getting their rights absolutely. Societys contribution to improve Bangladeshi women society. (ociety now understands the necessity of womens contribution. Different 347s and organi9ation are arranging concerts various development programs to donate money to help the victims financially. Women rights preservation organi9ations are working from field level to improve the rural society. 4overnments contribution is the support toward the development programs.

Hypothesis
Women are being deprived of their basic rights from the ancient time. But my research is based on present perspective of Bangladesh. *n present situation women are in against of the crime and violence. Women of Bangladesh are now together to struggle and con"uer the obstacles to their success.

ethodology
* have relied on the both primary and secondary data in order to do my research. ,ere * tried to e0plain the methodology of gathering data in details. Secondary data To collect my secondary data * took the help of the books that related to my topics. * searched in internet$ but there were a tiny script related to my topic. But * was disheartened when * did not find any specific book on my research topic in 3orth (outh !niversity library. * had to read lots of books that related to my topic somehow. #fter storing the information in brain * summari9ed all and started pasting in +( Document for research paper. * collected lots of articles from newspaper and summari9ed through my instruction in +s Document to make an informative research paper. !rimary data #s an essential part of my research paper primary data got the most importance in my research. * have followed only two methods interviewing as well as survey to collect primary data. Interviewing

* have taken interview from three categories%%%%%service holders physical labor workers and students. They have helped me a lot by providing information according to their thoughts and knowledge.

Women rights and deprivation in Bangladesh. Survey

* also did a primary survey to know the often occurred problems of deprivation those women are facing in Bangladesh and what people think how can women overcome the problems. * have done the survey among three categories. &rom the survey * have got a clear idea about peoples thoughts and wants$ fortunately support my hypothesis. Sample si"e and design To do the survey * have designed my targeted samples interestingly and effectively. To separate my defined samples * set a pre response "uestion; have you ever noticed the deprivation and rights of women in Bangladesh< * have collected around -= responses. * gathered all types of data and information personally to that * could make my research reliable at least to myself. #ata processing and data analysis To process and analysis the data * took the help of +( 50cel. * would analy9e the data through table graphs and charts.
