Violation of human rights is a major problem in the present-day world and the fresh approach might help the young learners to have a better grasp of the issue if they become familiar with our glorious heritage early in life. The Liberation War itself, in the ultimate analysis, was the result of our long struggle against violation of human rights.

The museum is now part of the International Coalition of Historic site Museums and Conscience which has established better communication between the organisations preserving relics of a bygone era, and which are actually a bridge between the past and the present. The exchange programmes of the coalition will certainly give our Liberation War a sustained projection to the outside world. People around the world will come to know a great deal more about the war that ultimately led to the creation of Bangladesh. This will help us in image building.

The schools, colleges and other academic institutions should attach due importance to inclusion of human rights in their curricula. It is also imperative that students become familiar with social maladies like dowry and violation of women's rights at the budding stages of their life. A society should equip itself adequately to eliminate the nagging ills which have a debilitating influence on its growth. And one way of doing so is to disseminate information about the problems as part of the awareness-building campaign. We believe students are a potent force that can play a vital role in the fight against social discrimination and violation of human rights. So they are the ones who should be empowered with knowledge of various social problems and discrepancies.
