Nine years have passed since Sohagi Jahan Tonu was raped and murdered inside the restricted Cumilla Cantonment on March 20, 2016. The case filed for her murder was supposed to be resolved within 180 days. However, nine years on and there has been no significant progress.

At 20, Ritu (not her real name) is determined to break free from her past and rewrite her life’s narrative.

At the tender age of 13, when she should be out playing with friends or studying, her life now revolves around tending to a son born out of rape.
