As also Dr Rumana Hashem notes, "Violence against women has increased during the lockdown and r**e of women continues to be on the rise with little attention from the government about how to prevent this." A report published by Odikhar in October 2020 revealed that 322 women and girls were r**ed between July and September 2020, and 58 percent of the victims are children.

Most cases of r**e have been committed by ruling party members, few media have covered the news and only a small group of civil society members have raised voices in public places. When will actions be taken for the elimination of violence against women in Bangladesh?
