Bangladesh is currently confronting an alarming rise in rape since the beginning of this year. Ever since the pandemic endured and we were fixed into a lockdown for out own safety. rape cases are increasing as days go by and we don't feel safe in our own country, own city,our own
Homes. Even as we speak and I write this in some corner of this country a women/girl
is facing such heinous things.From January 2020 to June 2020, there have been 731 rape officially filed allegedly. We do not know if there are more because a lot of victims don't file cases
Due many reasons such as -
*The fear of shame and blame.
*Our society.
*Pressure from the alleged rapist.
*Our families, in here daughters are considered as the divinity of the family.
The amount of cases of voileence towards women were more than 3900 last year, in these last 6 months, January to June, already more than 2000 cases have been reported and there are more happening behind the closed doors.
113 female were gang-raped and 26 were murdered after the assault.
At least 170+ of them were victims of attempted rape and more than 70 were being harassed sexually on daily basis according Bangladesh Manila Parishad (Women's Council of Bangladesh).
“Only three to four percent of culprits have been punished since 2014 for violating women. The culprits are remaining beyond the reach due to such culture of the impunity."

About legal proceedings of the rape cases the women’s rights activist exclaimed, “In Bangladesh, a woman or girl still needs to prove whether she was raped. But in many other countries, the accused prove whether he is a rapist or not.”

The main culprit of this crime committed, Delwar and his commarades confident enough to get away with the allegetions because after the incident they released of the video, the woman and her family were forced to leave the village because they threatened to kill them if they went
To the police. I elaborated only one story but there's so many such things happening behind those closed doors. We are asking for justice for them, for us. We are unable to trust men after what they've done. They damage they've caused can't be healed.

Rape is not anonymouse to bengali women and neither are assault,tharldom and apartheid they confront. They face it on daily basis but the justification given and and the alienation of such cases has always ensued the cycle of sexual assault discrimination on the basis of sex and
