Human Rights & Good Governance

EPRC advances social justice, accountability, and inclusive governance by addressing persistent human rights challenges while strengthening democratic processes in Bangladesh. It places a strong emphasis on preventing gender-based violence (GBV) and protecting survivors. Through rights-based awareness and community vigilance, EPRC works to challenge harmful social norms and improve access to justice.
