Why are we failing so miserably to put an end to rape? What is more horrifying is that gang rapes are on the rise. The recent cases of a Chakma woman gang-raped in Khagrachhari, two teenage girls gang-raped in Benapole, and the gang-rape of a woman in Sylhet, are petrifying. After such incidents, there is a momentary uproar from the public, voices are raised, protests are held, and then it loses momentum. We cannot let this happen. When will everyone understand the severity of this crime? When one of your own becomes a victim?
