Referring to the situation of women in Bangladesh, Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1992 states that
[t]he National Advisory Committee Against Repression of Women has established local branches in rural areas to address the problem of abused women. Most observers agree that this committee's impact has been negligible in providing recourse for victims of crimes within the family or home (1993, 1126).
Additional information on the above subject is currently unavailable to the DIRB.
