STATEMENT: JMBF Condemns Hair-Cutting Punishment of Students at School in Munshiganj

Paris, France; February 29, 2024: JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) condemns in the strongest terms the recent incident of cutting the hair of nine students for not wearing hijab by a teacher at Syedpur Abdur Rahman School and College in Munshiganj, Bangladesh.

The act of cutting the students' hair as a form of punishment for their religious attire is deeply concerning and constitutes a violation of their fundamental rights and dignity. No student should ever be subjected to such humiliation and discrimination based on their personal choices or beliefs.

JMBF urges the authorities to conduct a prompt and impartial investigation into the incident and to take exemplary action against the accused teacher. It is imperative that justice is swiftly served and that measures are taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

নারী অধিকার কি শুধু কাগজে কলমেই সীমাবদ্ধ থাকবে?

অ্যাডভোকেট শাহানূর ইসলাম সৈকত
বাংলাদেশ সরকার নারী উন্নয়নে কিছু আইন প্রনয়নসহ বেশ কিছু ব্যবস্থা গ্রহণ করলেও তা শুধু কাগজে কলমেই রয়ে গেছে, বাস্তবে তার প্রতিফলন আমরা খুব কমই দেখতে পাই। আইনে পতিতাবৃত্তি নিশিদ্ধ থাকলে ও বাস্তবে আমরা দেখতে পাই দেশের বিভিন্ন স্থানে সরকারের গোচরেই বেশ কিছু পতিতালয় রয়ে গেছে। আইন অনুযায়ী পতিতাদের সরকাররে পূনর্বাসন করার কথা কিন্তু সরকার এ বিষয়ে উদাসীন ভূমিকা পালন করছে।
