Human Rights Advocacy
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a serious issue, with widespread cases of eve-teasing, domestic violence, public sexual harassment, and trafficking. Social norms, gender inequality, and weak law enforcement perpetuate violence, particularly in rural areas. Eve-teasing is rampant in public spaces, and women often face harassment in both domestic and workplace settings. Domestic violence remains underreported due to cultural stigma and a lack of support systems. Trafficking of women, children, and adolescent girls for forced labor and sexual exploitation is a growing concern. Despite legal reforms and advocacy, cultural barriers and limited victim support hinder effective prevention and justice.
To address this challenges, EPRC is conducting:
- Awareness and motivational campaign in local schools, colleges, CSO and Union council to redress gender-based violence (GBV); eve-teasing, domestic and public sexual harassments as well as trafficking in women, children and adolescent girl.
