Outrage in Bangladesh as students demand action amid rising violence against women

Описание: Students and activists across Bangladesh have launched protests against rape and violence against women, demanding immediate action and legal reforms. The movement follows the brutal rape of an eight-year-old girl and growing concerns over rising violence since the country's political transition in 2024. The victim remains in critical condition at an army hospital in Dhaka, further fueling public anger. In response, hundreds of students have taken to the streets, boycotting classes and exams to demand justice. The protesting students have demanded action against rape and violence against women right now, and have called for an end to the exploitation of religion and social norms that perpetuate violence against women. Despite promises of reform, women’s rights activists argue that deeper social change is essential. According to police data, cases of violence surged by 19.5% between December and January, highlighting a growing crisis. Human rights organization ‘Ain o Salish Kendra’ reported 250 rapes in the first six months of 2024 alone, with 14 women murdered following sexual assaults and three taking their own lives. The perpetrators reportedly include relatives, neighbors, teachers, and even family members, underscoring a concerning breakdown of societal trust.
