Household work needs to be prioritised to ensure sustainable development: Speakers
Speakers at a photo exhibition titled “Different Images of Men”, organised by Drik and ActionAid in Shilpakala Academy of the capital made the remark
Women in our country do lots of household work. But they don't get recognition for their work most of the times. Our society is not accustomed to the idea of men participating in household works.
Speakers at a photo exhibition titled "Different Images of Men", organised by Drik and ActionAid in Shilpakala Academy of the capital made the remark and demanded to give priority to this matter in the government's fifth-year planning.
Planning Minister M A Mannan inaugurated the exhibition as the chief guest. He said, "What women do might be difficult to assess, but it cannot be denied. It's important to give proper respect and acknowledgement to women in order to prevent oppression against women."
Ten of the photographers received awards at the exhibition.
