Sexual violence against indigenous women and girls is also a tool universally used to seize lands of
indigenous peoples. In order to of prevent or mitigate violence against indigenous women and girls
that leads to conflicts and humanitarian crisis, the state-governments including Bangladesh need to
take special measures to recognize traditional' land rights 'of indigenous peoples that would respect
the practices of collective rights of the community. This arrangement would help to reduce the gross
human rights violations including violence against indigenous women and girls as most of the 'isolations
occur due to land grabbing and eviction.
Thank you Honourable Chair.
