Oppression of Man Under the Shadow of Law: Perspective Bangladesh

Abstract

Violence against women is a common scenario in Bangladesh. But along with women’s abuse in Bangladesh, male abuse has also become a big problem in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, men are victims of physical, mental, physical, and emotional abuse at work and domestic violence and they are getting discriminated against in most sectors. There is currently no law in Bangladesh for the torture of men. Due to these men in Bangladesh do not get any proper justice. And at the same time, due to the social position of men, they cannot say anything in society. The purpose of my research is to create a well-established 'Prevention of Male Violence Law’ in Bangladesh and modify a few Acts which should be non-discriminating by nature such as section 375 of the penal code, sections498, 509, etc. Through which all men of Bangladesh can secure their rights through a successful and fair trial process. And to break the social stereotype that men are always oppressed in Bangladesh and to establish that they can also be victims of abuse. I aim to establish through this research let people are aware of the oppression of man and the need for a specific 'Male Torture Prevention Act’ rather than a non-discriminating law for men in the justice system of Bangladesh and how it can be developed.
