Abstract
I have been researching and writing about issues related to women and gender for decades. In this essay, I have steered away from academic jargon and sought to get down to the bare bones of the entire debate. Given the gender dynamics in the current social order, especially in Bangladesh, I would like to make the following submissions: What the liberation of women requires is equal access to available resources and opportunities. These help them become competent and confident and live their lives to the fullest. Equally, for women to have a respectable and dignified place in society, men need to have a clear conscience and maintain decency in gender relations. This can manifest in a number of ways, ranging from gender complementarity in household responsibilities to treating women with respect in workplaces and other public settings. Men’s sense of decency is essential to all of these. In its absence, sadly, gender injustices and asymmetries may continue unabated.
