Rape incidents are increasing at an alarming rate in Bangladesh - from 603 cases in 2011 to around 800 by 2014. 86 children were raped in 2012, 280 were raped in 2015; more than one-third of them were under 12 years.

Possible causes are the lack of religious values and respect for social bonds. Moreover, abuse of internet, such as the availability of pornography, is destroying the youth's morality and encouraging heinous activities.
Last year, around 1500 cases were reported against sexual assaulters, but we don't know how many of them have been resolved. The government must implement strict rule of law against such crimes, and take measures to ensure girls' safety. Meanwhile, social awareness must be provided to the derailed young.
