Ride to End Digital Violence Against Women
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign concluded with a powerful call to action on Human Rights Day.
Candlelight Solidarity on World Human Rights Day
On World Human Rights Day, Gender Platform Bangladesh brought together activists, workers, and community members at Manik Mia Avenue for a candlelight gathering to stand against digital and workplace violence targeting women. This symbolic act was organized as part of the global 16 Days Of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
Symbol of Solidarity
The soft glow of candles illuminated a powerful message: collective resistance against cyberbullying, online threats, workplace harassment, discrimination, and all forms of violence that undermine women’s rights, freedom, and dignity. Each candle represented a commitment to justice, safety, and equality for women across every sector.
Key Messages
Digital and workplace violence are pervasive threats that restrict women’s participation, confidence, and well-being.
Protecting women requires coordinated action from families, institutions, workplaces, policymakers, and broader society.
Solidarity is essential to challenging harmful norms and ensuring accountability at every level.
Human Rights Day serves as a reminder that women’s safety and dignity are fundamental rights, not privileges.
