he incident took place at Sarak Bazar
In response to the rising wave of violence against women and environmental destruction across Bangladesh, Bangladesh Tree Protection Movement and BotTala are coming together to organize a cultural protest under the banner “Resist Violence Against Women and Nature.”
Anti-rape platform submits five-point demand to law adviser to prevent such incidents
The government plans to appoint 100 percent female staff in the call centre so that women feel free to file complaints
Artistes called for the swift resolution of all rape and gender-based violence cases during the demonstration. They demanded the formation of a special tribunal to ensure speedy justice. Notable personalities at the gathering included Misha Sawdagor, Rawshan Ara Rozina, Shipon Mitra, Joy Chowdhury, Mukti, and several other actors.
The recent incident of the rape of eight-year-old Asiya, being abused by her relatives, has left the entire country shocked. Some of the prominent Bangladeshi artistes have shared their deep concern over these horrifying incidents, calling for justice, stricter punishments, and a fundamental shift in societal attitudes.
International Women’s Day highlights progress, but safety remains a crisis in Bangladesh. Weak law enforcement, victim-blaming, and moral policing enable violence. Real change demands stronger laws, faster justice, safer spaces, and an end to impunity for harassers.
This incident, under the guise of moral policing, is yet another example of the deteriorating state of women’s rights and safety in Bangladesh.
While International Women’s Day is a global celebration of women’s rights, equality, and empowerment, the statistics from Bangladesh on violence against women paint a troubling and stark reality.

Mohsin would burst into laughter, saying, "Justice for rape? Is that even a crime worthy of justice?" Rabeya, laughing alongside him, would add, "People expect justice for rape these days? I'm speechless at their naïveté!"
