Rape victim
I am writing to you after reading a story reported in The Daily Star on 24 January 2010 about the case of a 16 year old girl who was lashed 101 times after becoming pregnant through being raped. I work for Equality Now, an international women's rights organisations that works on violence and discrimination against women and girls all over the world. We are a not-for- profit charity organisation and take no funding from any government. Your report mentioned that a human rights organisation, led by a lawyer has raised the case. We are planning a visit to Bangladesh in the next couple of weeks and would very much like the opportunity to meet with the human rights organisation and the advocate.
We wonder whether the readers can help us through providing information regarding the human rights organisation and the lawyer. Any help would be much appreciated.
We look forward to hearing from all of you.
