Women’s legal rights are one of the most significant determinants of their status. In
Bangladesh, a series of laws ensuring women’s rights have proven largely ineffective in
promoting their positions. The prime reasons for this are: dirtier politics, the ineffective
implementation of women rights laws, the traditional and cultural negative views about
women’s rights, the absence of an accountable and transparent government, the
expensive and time consuming judicial process, the lack of an efficient judiciary, and
other socio-economic reasons. The core theme of this essay concentrates on the
ineffective enforcement of laws with the objective to promote protection of women’s
rights by recommending remedies to flaws in prevailing laws in Bangladesh.
Recommendations are made by reference to comparative and international practices.
The primary arguments developed throughout this essay are: (i) the protection of
women’s rights is imperative to improve their status (ii) the legislative, administrative
and judicial efforts dealing with women’s rights; and (iii) improvements in those efforts
to better protect women’s rights. This study examines laws regarding women’s
employment and political participation and the laws on dowry. It also explores the ways
laws have been structured and enforced in Bangladesh, and how law can be an effective
means of women’s pursuit of rights.
