Women's rights

With the growing number of crimes against women, the very freedom of women is endangered. A recent report shows that while there were about 30,000 rape cases in the year 2016 alone, only one in four offender got arrested. What is worse is the fact that even the law makers are guilty of crimes against women. The freedom of movement, freedom of work, freedom of right to life itself is endangered when a woman is subjected to sexual harassment and rape. While the country protests over fictitious characters, it fails to shoulder the responsibility when the safety and security of real women and girls is in question. And to add insult over injury, not only does the rape victim is denied justice, her family might be tortured or her character or life might even be questioned. As far as the women's rights are concerned, even the twenty first century cannot be said to be a very good time for being a woman.
A good news for women comes from Bangladesh, where the Supreme Court banned the two finger test on rape victims as well as banned the attorneys from asking questions during the trial which would affect the dignity of a rape survivor.
