News Network has undertaken an initiative to train up human rights defenders on advocacy and lobbying to protect women’s and girls’ rights. Supported by the European Union the objective of the training is to build up the capacity of human rights defenders and involve them in activities like advocacy, negotiation, lobbying, litigation, strategies of change, research, monitoring, documentation and reporting about women's and girls’ rights and impunity. The activity will be implemented in eight districts, most of which are situated along with Bangladesh and India international border line where women and girls are often becoming victims of human rights violation, including force marriage and child marriage, trafficking, gender-based violence, abuse and sexual harassment. At the same time, human rights defenders in those areas are not well organised. Most of them don’t have enough understanding and ability for advocacy to protect women rights. Consequently, many incidents remain unreported.
