Earlier in March, the Young Bangla and Human Rights Programme of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote the ‘Women’s Safety in Public Places’ campaign.
To this end, the youth organisation has already set some stepping stones towards women’s safety and empowerment, and the latest campaign is set as one of those stones.
Young Bangla has, since its inception, has been carrying out, along with its partner organizations, a series of activities such as workshops, seminars, and dramas to boost up awareness about women empowerment, said sources at the youth organization, adding that this campaign will springboard that effort.
