Domestic workers are tortured and victimized by the employers, many children are still engaged hazardous child labour and finally they going to dark for unknown destination and with out any future dream. Besides so many young and teenage female children forces to suicide by the causes of eve teasing by the a few culprits. The Government have set up ministry of Women and Children Affairs who take action to stop these types of violations and set up Women and Children Special tribal Act for women and children at district level although the picture is not same and it is not stopped and it is creasing day by days.

Speakers gives emphasis to formulate laws with the active participation of community people, otherwise it will be useless. In Bangladesh it have many laws but most of them are not familiar to mass people. As result the laws are not useful to protect the rights of citizen. People have no idea about the laws. Besides most the planning concentrated with the high class of citizen it not touched by the low income community people. So common people have to participation the planning process of the country.
