husband‟s death or divorce, she has no room in the society. Hence, the Hindu women should be legitimately given inheritance rights. A woman must receive as much paternal property as a man may has. Government must enact relevant law for it. Government usually does not touch these issues fearing to destroy Hindu religious sentiment by imposing different law. But the Government should consider this issue with the view that they are a significant part of population; hence, a duty of care and essential obligation must be there. The Government must pass new laws for the welfare of the minority women for the welfare of family, personal, economic law too. The government is hanging the vested property for few decades. We demand that the vested lands to distribute equally among all Hindu female in Bangladesh. However, to enact and implement these laws, the minority women (and men) must come forward. The minority women need a quick revolutionary change in these aspects rather than a slow evolution. 6. For the indigenous women, it is essential to implement regarding local law (CHT accord-1997, SAT-1950) ILO convention-107 and ratify ILO convention 167 and UNDRIP. Some countries may individually monitor to develop the situation of human rights in Bangladesh. Such as, the U.S. government discusses religious freedom with officials at all levels of the government, as well as with political party leaders and representatives of religious and minority communities. The embassy continued to express concern about human rights, including the rights of religious and ethnic minorities. Embassy staff traveled to various regions investigating human rights cases, including some involving religious minorities, and met with civil society members, NGOs, local religious leaders, and other citizens to discuss these cases. They also encouraged law enforcement to take proactive measures to protect the rights of religious minorities. U.S. embassy and visiting U.S. government officials regularly visited members of minority communities to hear their concerns and demonstrate support.

Finally, in our view, the International Organizations, specially, the United Nations should take this obligation to establish, monitor and follow up the issue of equal rights for the minority women in Bangladesh, as the international organizations are having more authority and acceptability in a sovereign country than an individual country. Such way, the equality of rights for the minority women can be established – not only in A4 papers, but also in reality. 11
