摘要
Women are everyday targets of discrimination, exploitation, and violence in Bangladesh. This article deals with various forms of violence and their shared links and common roots in the socio-political and ideological relations between men and women in Bangladesh society. It raises the issues inherent in considering the complexity of violence and presents cases of resistance against violence. The significant role of women's groups and other nongovernment organizations in bringing about the kinds of qualitative change necessary to establish rights for women in Bangladesh is highlighted.
