Bangladesh Nari Punorbashon Songstha (Bangladesh Women’s Rehabilitation Organization) was established by the government in collaboration with the civil society in February 1972 to rehabilitate the victims of rape with technical and humanitarian support. The government provided them with vocational training and launched a campaign to get them married. Previously, many of these women were often ostracised by society and their families. Rape effectively severed these women from kinship, family and social structures. This programme was aimed at rehabilitating their position in society and image through multiple socio-economic programmes and arranged marriages. Here, women at the centre make crafts with jute.
