Bangladesh is a developing country with a population of about 14.5 million and it is

increasing day by day. Facing a problem of high population, our country also faces

several problems of political instability and conflicts. News of such problems is always

present in our daily newspapers every morning. Along with such news we are also

exposed to news of sexual harassments that women of our society face every day.

Recently, I read in a daily newspaper that a young girl 2 years of age was raped by a

man! It was shocking news for me and I was surprised that how cruel men can be.

The main focus of my research is the problems especially with AIUB female students

face problem in public transportation modes today. Most of the women in the middle

class segment of the community use public transport to reach their destinations every day.

Many of them include working women doing part time or full time jobs. They use busses,

rickshaws, tempos or CNG auto rickshaws to go to different places they need to go. The

following will discuss various transportation modes and their degree of being safe for

women.

A few years back I saw a poster in a store. There was a picture of a woman with 10 hands doing

ten different things and her husband looking at her and saying that “my wife does not work”. It

was a common picture in Bangladesh.

There was a time when women used to stay at home and do all the household works. Their

husbands used to complain that they do not do anything. Men used to underestimate and

dominate their wives as they were the only earning member of the family. They used to take all

the major decisions for the family. Women were treated like servants.

But the situation is very different now. Women are working almost in every sector. They are

taking higher education and even going abroad to take higher degrees. They are aware of their

career. They are earning their own livelihood. They are not financially dependent on their

husbands anymore. They are doing their job outside the home as well as inside the home.

Although we can see huge differences between now and then, one thing that has not changed yet

is the mentality of men. They still want to dominate women and complain about them. Before

men used to complain about her wife that she does not work and now they complain about their

wives’ working outside. Before they used to dominate as they were the only person earning

income, and now when their wives are earning income they do not like it.

The possible reasons for husbands not allowing or opposing their wives doing jobs outside are

categorized on the following classifications:

Sense of insecurity:

Typical husbands often do not like the fact that their wives will be working with other men in the

absence of the former. They feel literally insecure while their wives are working outside under a

male supervisor or are surrounded by male colleagues. They feel the tension of what might

happen and does not tend to take things normally and casually.

Lack of trust:

It is seen that no matter how long the married life, husbands usually cannot trust their wives

blindly. They often out of their own frustration begin to think that their wives, as they are

working under a male boss or working together with male colleagues might get attracted to each

other sexually and things might go wrong. This frustration sometimes leads to greater tension in


a married life and often it is seen that the tension between the couple results in physical abuse.

Husbands often beat up their wives assuming that latter might be cheating on the former. Often

husbands get a clue to their assumption when they see their wives talking casually with their

male colleagues and going outside with them which is not right and does not justify the fact that

the wives will be having physical relationship with their male subordinates.

Feeling of embarrassment:

In cases where husbands earn less than their wives, husbands usually do not like the outcome.

Still today in developing countries like Bangladesh husbands tend and wish to dominate women

when it comes to fulfilling financial needs. They like the fact that women are dependant on them

for money. There is no other reason behind such a want and it is the basic nature or part of men’s

character. Thus, in cases where women earn a higher income than their husbands, problems

pursue and it leads to imbalance or conflicts in the married life.

Lack of care:

Husbands might also oppose or try to restrict their wives from working outside because they feel

that they are not getting the love and affection that they need as husbands from their wives. They

feel that if their wives do not work, they would get more care and love from their spouse.


Objective of the Research

The research report is Transportation Problem facing In Banani Area for AIUB female Students.

AIUB is one biggest Private university in Bangladesh. Including some of facilities, there is a

major problem, which faced especially female students of AIUB, is Transportation problem. In

this Report, we try to fin those problem regarding female students of AIUB. Just Because of

Data Analysis, Chart and Graphs

I conducted a survey among forty people for the purpose of the research. I have showed

my findings of the survey through graphs and interpretations. The graphs and

explanations are given as follows:

We have interviewed 100 of respondent. There is no area, where is mostly visible in

AIUB female student. All most all areas are same and equal. Some of the area like Uttara,

farmget is shortly notable otherwise all are same. But which cities are far from campus,

these are less noticeable.

We are focused on AIUB female student. So generally it is very much common that,

those who are mostly regular student likely to be 226 year in old. That’s seemed in our

survey, that most of the girls are 22-24 years old and some of more than that and those

who are fresher’s, they are mostly 18-22 years in age.

Our most of the respondents were from BBA department for our Universities. But in the

AIUB we have covered almost all the department to make our study more efficient. There

were six departments in AIUB but fifty percent students were from BBA department and

other fifty percent students were from another five departments.

Marital Status

In AIUB, all most all of the female student is unmarried/single. Some of are married,

whose are maximum studied in their last semester or all most finish their degree. In MBA

maximum are married. So this is the mixed but majority of the student reads in under

graduate program, so rate of unmarried is high.

This is very tuff in AIUB to keep in CGPA in a high rate. The format of the system of

education is too much different from the other universities. That’s why most of the girls

have average CGPA, Which is between ‘2.5-3.5.’ So it is clearly showed in our survey

Public Transport has another name that is Bus. If you are use public transport in your day

to day life, Bus is the most preferable for you. In the female students of AIUB also use

mostly BUS for their transportation. It is lot more safety and spacious for day to day

journey. Some of other public transports have shown in our survey, these are for those

people who are stayed not far from campus.

Most of the transports, whose are come in Banani, are mostly frequent in time, Because

Banani is a busy and official area, and so infrequent transports are very rare in this area.

That’s why most of the students face not much problem for timing in Transport.

This is the vital fact for the every student for AIUB. In the afternoon, lots of offices

finish, so normally it’s a busy time for everyone. It is a task point to get transport in right

time. Our respondent shows us that it’s very difficult to get that.

Traffic in the road

In this sector in our public transport stays very much behind. The condition of seats is

becoming very poor in transport. Every passenger faces huge trouble in journey for the

poor condition of the seats. Especially women, AIUB female students are not in different

case. They also suffer for poor condition of seats.

Do you get the seats which are fixed for the women?

Findings

The overall results of the primary research are listed below.

AIUB female students from age group 22 years to 25 years are more vulnerable to sexual

harassment and other problems alike in public transportation services.

AIUB female students face many problems while travelling in public transportation. The

most common problems are indecent looks being given by the opposite sex and unwanted


physical contacts intentionally made by the opposite sex in the public transports.

Moreover women also face teasing and dirty comments being passed at them.

AIUB female students generally from the middle class segment of the community use

public transportation services every day. Thus, without public transport services, women

are not able to travel to their places of destination. Thus, they are in a sense bound to

travel by bus or tempos for instance and tolerate the problems often without even

complaining or protesting. Thus they take the problems for granted.

Many women who do not take the problems for granted had already taken some

corrective measures. Some have changed the ways they dress up so that their level of

attractiveness is reduced, some have changed the mode of transport being used, and for

instance shifting from using busses to using CNG auto rickshaws and others have stopped

using public transport services completely.

Many AIUB female students we have interviewed assume the CNG auto rickshaw to be

the safest mode of transport. Then they assume rickshaws to be safer and busses and

tempos are considered to be the least safe modes of public transportation services.

Recommendation

At the end of my research I would recommend several ways that might help reduce the

mentioned problems that women face in public transportation.


1. Education system must be premeditated in a way as to promote positive relationship

between girls and boys, especially at a younger age. Co-education encourages

competition, but the curriculum must target at building a healthy environment of learning

rather than encouraging male-female contact unnecessarily. Boys from conservative

backgrounds tend to follow girls more often than boys from rather liberal backgrounds.

2. Parents' role is very significant. They should keep their children from bad influences.

Parents must educate their children 'what to' or 'what not to' watch. They should adopt

friendly relations with their children rather than being harsh with them.

3. Teachers must play their role to repeat moral teachings in the young minds in a more

rational and modern way.

4. The Police must be more conscious. They should not take such offensive acts lightly and

they should be more active to punish such vagabonds where necessary.

Conclusion

We live in a society in Bangladesh where Public Transportation at one time or the other.

We all know how vulnerable women in AIUB are towards Problem in public

transportation. Private Universities are playing a vital role in our education system. Some

of the top class private universities are really contributing a lot in our society. They are


providing good Transportation faculties. To build a safe environment where both our

mothers and sisters can move freely we need to increase our self awareness and feel other

women as our own mothers and sisters. If we tend to realize that we all should respect

women and treat them with dignity and support them in every aspects of life, such

problems as Public Transportation will not exist.
