Justice for Rumana
Photo: STAR
The cruelty on Rumana Manzur occurred when I was struggling to educate my contacts (especially males) that women are being mistreated everywhere. Most of the males turn a blind eye to this, and ask for evidence. Even in universities, I come across young men who either feel threatened by accomplished women, or underestimate the potential of women. The most shocking part is that the perpetrator is a student of BUET. What are educational institutions doing to prevent students from becoming cold-blooded murderers? The criminal should be given capital punishment to deter others, and educational institutions should make it obligatory for students to take a Moral Science course. Every woman should speak up against domestic violence to discourage bearing abuse in silence. We must join hands with Mr. Ban Ki Moon, who has embarked on a “Ring the Bell” campaign, which urges everyone to intervene during domestic disputes.
