Some women in Bangladesh are trapped in abusive marriages due to the unequal laws on marriage, separation and divorce. Or they end up in extreme poverty as they have nowhere to go and no means of looking after themselves. We are currently doing a great deal of work with the aims of reforming personal laws, review and reform family court proceedings and strengthen social assistance programs. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

With this we hope to spread enough awareness on this subject and help these women be equal citizens.
