I have seen BD women to be almost immobile without a Rickshaw or other transport. They are very very slow moving with their fat belly and a*s prohibiting them from walking a little faster. I have my personal endorsement to the encouraging effort of BD female school students in the north of the country.

That's why I am all for developing domestic tourism.It will create opportunity for our womenfolks to go out enjoying and have some healthy physical activities.Now women/girls don't have much opportunity to go out and engage some sports.Developing domestic tourism is one of the best way to breakdown societal barrier women faces.I sometimes become awestruck on how much freedom women enjoy at beach in some muslim countries.Look at the beaches of Morocco,Algeria,Tunisia.Their women in either Burkini or Bikini/Shorts enjoying beach sports without much hassle.Can we imagine that in our country?Only way is to promote domestic tourism vigorously.We have largest,finest beach in the world.Why can't we utilize them?
