Abstract

Mahatma Gandhi said “hate the sin, love the sinner”. Numerous international instruments also ensure some basic rights of prisoners. For example, it is said that “All persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated at all times with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person” i . This is further said that women prisoners shall not suffer discrimination and shall be sheltered from all forms of forcefulness or abuseii . Like other countries of the world, Bangladesh also has a number of women prisoners. Hence, they need some gender specific requirements. Nevertheless, the author thinks that, Bangladesh is not fully complying with the international instruments. Additionally, there are some scholastic views regarding this. Some academic by their writings also confirmed that, our women prisoners are deprived of some basic rights. In this paper, the author will try to analyze the existing laws of country for protecting women prisoner’s right and its compliance with international standard. Therefore, the author will try to give some suggestion to ensure women prisoner’s right.
