Violence against women in politics, along with financial, social and institutional barriers, continues to discourage them from taking part in Bangladesh’s political process, according to findings of a new qualitative study released yesterday. The United Nations Electoral Assistance Programme (DRIP/BALLOT) conducted the study, while the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development, BRAC University, and UN Women launched the findings at an event at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre in Dhaka.
