Violence indigenous women

Bangladesh, like other states in south Asia has also ratified the international treaties on equality and non- discrimination between men and women.Some of these measures are also contained in the national constitution of Bangladesh.That does not mean, of course,that human rights violations do not take place in these contries.In the CHT,indigenous women are encountering various forms of human rights violace.Despite the CHT Accord of 1997, the indigenous women continue to be sexsually and veba harrassed and assaulted by majority.The cessation of hostilities may have decreased the risk of such sexsual offences, but indigenous women are still very much at risk.Women from various indigenous communities are facing different types of human rights violations.The various forms of abuse by Bangali settlers are in the increase. This may be because the settlers, who were mostly confined in protected"cluster villages" before are now far more mobile because of the end of guerilla war.
