Citing an earlier international program by Jamaat\u2019s women\u2019s wing, she asked why a similar assembly could not be organized in Dhaka, adding that the upcoming event is \u201cthe best opportunity\u201d for the wing to present its own case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calling the initiative \u201cJamaat\u2019s game-changing move,\u201d Meghla compared it to the party\u2019s pre-election policy summit, which she said \u201csurprised many,\u201d and predicted the women\u2019s rally could do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate post, she criticized what she described as media double standards, noting intense coverage when a Jamaat leader used derogatory language about women\u2014language she wrote is \u201cnever acceptable\u201d\u2014while alleging far less attention to instances where opposition leaders are accused of physical abuse against women. Meghla also contended that some self-described feminists do not equally defend the rights and safety of women who wear hijab or niqab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jamaat-e-Islami\u2019s women\u2019s division announced the January 31 \u201cprotest rally\u201d at Suhrawardy Udyan as part of its ongoing public mobilization.
