2023 data shows – ▪ Every 10 minutes, 1 woman/girl is killed by partner(s) or family! ▪ 1 in 3 women experience violence in their lifetime! ▪ 1 in 4 adolescent girls is abused by a partner! @Room to Read Bangladesh identifies gender inequality as one of the most pervasive forms of discrimination, and categorically addresses the harmful gender norms and stereotypes that subjugate girls and women to sexual harassment and violence. We uphold the “dignity” of every child and are committed to creating safe, nurturing and empowering learning environments. We have institutionalized rigorous and comprehensive policy instruments – Child Protection Policy (CPP), and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) policy. While the former warrants safe and dignified interactions with children, the latter promotes a safe workplace with zero tolerance to gender harassment, exploitation, abuse or violence. Alongside our Girls’ Education Program that focuses on gender equality, our Literacy Program safeguards child protection. Together, we are further committed to dismantle the systemic barriers that perpetuate violence and discrimination, and empower the next generations to together build a just, safe and equitable world. #16DoA, #NoExcuse, Room to Read Bangladesh
