Domestic violence is the most common form of VAW in Bangladesh, the recent trend of which shows that battering type violence followed a slacken slope while dowry related violence is on increase yet, pushed by psychological violence. In public sphere, though Acid, and Fatwa and Illegal Arbitration related violence are on decrease, sexual violence and harassment are on increase, kindling by trafficking and negative use of various media. The most heinous situation is on commute to work and workplace where women workers often become the victim of differential violence including rape with no record. The paper recommends accurate maintenance of violence data with awareness program and proper implementation of existed laws for the emancipation of women.
