Fisheries and Livestock Adviser Farida Akhter on Saturday said we want to build together such a country where human rights would not be violated.
"We have to keep in mind that many students, youth and common people have embraced martyrdom and became crippled by losing their eyes in the July Mass Upsurge," she added.
The adviser said this while inaugurating a newly constructed five-story academic building of Dhaka Central Girls High School as the chief guest.
Begum Rokeya had established many educational institutions for Muslim women so that they could take education in an independent environment where various extra-curricular activities and cultural functions were organized along with providing education, she continued.
The adviser said reading books is not the only way of acquiring knowledge as history has changed many times. In this connection, she said teachers should teach the real history of the country to the students to make them aware about the country and the nation as well.
Referring to security issues of the female students, Farida Akhter said that the district administration, police administration and local political leaders would have to take the responsibilities to ensure safety and security of the students in and outside the educational institutions.
She categorically said that the dropout of the girl students due to eve teasing won't be tolerated anymore in the new Bangladesh.
Urging the students to come forward to protect the country's environment, Farida Akhter said the students should engage themselves at least a day in a week for protecting the environment of their institutions and its surrounding areas.
In this regard, she called upon all to reduce the use of polythene bags and other plastic goods, which are considered hazardous for human health and the environment as well.
She called upon the girl students to be self-confident in every aspect and said that they should acquire knowledge on women repression laws.
Regarding child marriage, she said teachers, guardians and the society should remain aware in curbing child marriage in society.
