Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) yesterday demanded of the government to formulate and implement a code of conduct for all concerned at educational institutions to stop sexual harassment.
The demands came at a human chain organised by TIB in front of Teacher-Student Centre of Dhaka University as part of its programmes to observe International Youth Day tomorrow.
Members of Youth Engagement and Support (YES) from 14 educational institutions, students, teachers and civil society members took part in the programme, launched by Dhaka University Vice Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique.
"Harassment of women in educational institutions is insulting for the whole nation. The youths should come forward to resist defamatory acts against women including sexual harassment," said Prof Arefin.
TIB Executive Director Dr Iftekharuzzaman also addressed the human chain. TIB volunteers under the YES banner later held a rally, cartoon exhibition and anti-corruption game show to detest corruption.
