The government is including topics on violence against women and sexual harassment in school curriculum to sensitise children about the dangers, Dipu Moni says. Protests have continued in Dhaka and elsewhere in the country for several days following a spate of rape and sexual violence against women amid the coronavirus pandemic. "Important topics such as women's repression and sexual violence are being included in our curriculum. Before reopening schools, we need to concentrate on the related data and reality," she said. She also urged the education minister to introduce incentives in the education sector like other sectors and ensure snacks for students during school hours.
