Abstract

An independent official tasked with investigating complaints made by citizens against public authorities or organizations is known as the Ombudsman. It is an essential mechanism for promoting accountability and transparency within government and public institutions, helping to restore public trust and ensure fair treatment of citizens. Article 77 of the Constitution of Bangladesh outlines the legal framework for establishing the office of the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman Act of Bangladesh, enacted in 1980, was established under the constitutional framework provided by Article 77. This study is based on solely secondary sources, and it is descriptive. This study has discussed that for protecting the rights of citizens, bridge the gap between government and citizens, and strengthen democratic principles, establishing the Ombudsman is mandatory in the present context of Bangladesh. This study has also discussed the loopholes in the Ombudsman Act of Bangladesh and what amendments should be introduced.

Abstract

The involvement of women in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields in Bangladesh raises significant concerns, particularly in light of the country's remarkable advancements in education and economic development. The female population constitutes half of Bangladesh's demographic, making their increased participation in the STEM fields not just essential but a necessity for addressing labor market needs and preventing talent shortages. The involvement of women in the STEM field fosters social justice by providing them with opportunities for high-paying and stable careers, thereby diminishing gender disparities in both education and employment. This article aims to examine the current trends and obstacles affecting women's participation in the STEM field in Bangladesh, as well as to identify potential strategic interventions that could be implemented to address these issues. This article is based on secondary sources. Despite significant progress in women's rights and representation across various sectors, the participation of women in STEM fields continues to be alarmingly low, with only about 14% of women engaged in these areas. This article identifies several barriers faced by women in the STEM field in Bangladesh, including societal and cultural obstacles, a scarcity of female role models and mentors, the absence of gender-inclusive policies, and a hostile work environment, among others. This article proposes that there is a need to enhance the enrollment of women in STEM disciplines. Educational institutions must proactively engage in initiatives that foster STEM education, specifically for girls. Organizations must establish a supportive work environment to ensure the retention of female employees.

Abstract

This research examined the pervasive and deeply entrenched issue of sexual harassment within Bangladeshi universities. This research followed a qualitative research approach and was conducted on the female students of Pabna University of Science and Technology of Bangladesh. Data were collected from 20 female students through In-Depth Interviews, utilising a convenience sampling method. This study reveals that female students face both verbal and non-verbal sexual harassment on campus and outside the campus, which significantly disrupts the academic environment. Although there are legal requirements for the university to implement complaint mechanisms, institutional responses remain inconsistent, often hindered by stigma, fear of retaliation, and distrust in the justice system. Therefore, the Sexual Harassment Prevention Committee has to work effectively to punish the perpetrators and make a safe and secure environment for all.
