In this episode of Panoscope, we will take you to Bangladesh to have a closer look into the lives of the widows, especially those from the Hindu community. Social discrimination against the widows is a serious concern. They are deprived of their economic rights. They have no right to the family property and remain mostly in social isolation in the male dominated society and have no choice but to depend on their male relatives. The widows live a highly vulnerable life. Despite all the hardship and social injustic, the situation of widows remains under reported and unaddressed by the government. The NGOs are also not doing enough to help these widows. Journalist Debobroto Chakraborty from Bangladesh prepared this report. (15:00)
