Freedom at 40
A Photo Feature by Zahedul I Khan

What has liberation meant for women in Bangladesh? Economic freedom? Freedom of mobility? The freedom to choose? Freedom from violence? The freedom to dream?
Forty years into the independence of the nation, Bangladeshi women have had to fight against many odds for the establishment of their rights to equality, liberty and even to life. Some are stories of success; others, stories of continuing struggle.
