Rights of women
We keep reading in the papers over and over again about men beating up and murdering their wives, pouring acid down the throats of their own children. We read about how women and children working as servants get tortured by their employers. Just the other day there was an article about how a man tied up his wife and locked her up in a medieval manner. It's really sad to see that in this day and age Bangladesh is still not yet a civilised nation. I am really surprised that our Honourable Prime Minister, being a woman herself, does not seem to be sensitive enough towards all such issues. I believe that stern action should be taken against the culprits. Acid should not be available so easily in the market. I would also like to urge the women of Bangladesh to stand up for their rights and not give in to their husbands so easily. Men who hit women are cowards and thrive on the fear they create.
Therefore, if women start fighting back for their rights, then these so called men will be intimidated.
