At exactly 11:59 PM, the members of the Conscious Women's Society marched from the front of Shahbagh National Museum in the capital to Sangsad Bhavan. They are united in protesting against rape and oppression of women and demanding justice for the criminals. On Friday, conscious women held a 'Shackle Breaker Padayatra' program to demand 13 points. After 10 pm on this day, women started gathering in front of the National Museum with banners and placards. From there, the procession starts with festoons, banners and torches lit. Then it passed through ScienceLab, Kala Bagan and Asad Gate and ended in front of Sangsad Bhavan.
Several human rights activists including actress Ajmeri Haque Bandhan, Naushaba, photographer Shahidul Alam and his wife Rehnuma Ahmed were present in it.
The participants of the march raised slogans such as 'Equality of men's power should be broken', 'Legal oppression should be stopped', 'Where is Kalpana Chakma?' The women concluded the march with a song by artist Sayan. The title of the song is 'Mother Sisters Dare'.
Earlier in a brief protest rally, the speakers presented their 13-point demands. One of these is to ensure exemplary and fair punishment at the earliest to those involved in ongoing rape-sexual violence across the country.
