Domestic Violance in Bangladesh
Children are at risk when they face domestic violence. In Bangladesh, we still ignore domestic violence as a social problem. Read this article at Daily Star journal on domestic violence. The author, a law student in Bangladesh, writes in his article, "Almost all of civil and criminal laws of Bangladesh deal with violence against women committed within general community by strangers with few exceptions e.g. dissolution of marriage, dowry related violence, dower, maintenance, guardianship and custody. Present laws are ignorant about issues of sexual abuse e.g. marital rape, verbal or psychological or economic abuse caused by domestic violence and also fail to provide adequate remedy. High probability of non-conviction of accused under existing laws lowers rate of filing cases comparing total incidents of domestic violence". Definitely, we've to go a long way to counter domestic violence.
