Fantastic fathers

Eight awarded for setting examples in empowering women, children in rural areas

Eight fathers were awarded yesterday for their exemplary practices that empowered women and children in the rural areas.

Centre for Men and Masculinities Studies (CMMS), a non-government research organisation working to ensure male participation to prevent violence against women and girls since 2012, awarded the fathers who declined the traditional practice of fatherhood and sensitised people about the rights of wives and children, at a programme at Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Building of Dhaka University (DU).
