Shakti Foundation and Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST) are jointly working on women's rights, gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, and mental health care. As part of this, in celebration of International Women's Day, a day-long orientation on "Protection and Safety in Preventing Violence Against Women" was held at the Shakti Foundation's head office. The orientation, conducted by BLAST, was attended by 37 female employees from various levels of the head office.
