CARE Bangladesh celebrated the International Women's Day across the country Wednesday with a pledge to establish women's dignity in the society and recognise their achievements and contributions, said a press release.
The humanitarian organisation with 47 other non-government organisations (NGOs) formed a human chain in front of the city's Manik Mia Avenue at 9:00am.
Several hundred participants took part in the hour-long human chain programme, upholding placards and banners on women rights issues.
They also chanted slogans on elimination of all kinds of discrimination against women and establishing their equal rights from home to state.
This year's slogan of the day is 'Responsible Man Understands Dignity of Woman'.
At district levels, CARE Bangladesh brought out colourful processions jointly with partner NGOs.
Besides, the CARE will arrange a video programme on March 13 at its headquarters in the city's Kawran Bazar, highlighting its efforts to promote women in non-traditional jobs like driving, mechanic and saleswomen.
