Rape as a weapon of compliance Part 2

The Awami League and its in-house vigilante group BCL have long used the threat and perpetration of sexual assault to keep dissenters in Bangladesh in line. In a conservative society where the issue continues to be taboo, the sheer terror of being victim of rape and being shamed for being that victim is a prospect no woman wants to imagine. In 2017, at the height of the student-led movement for establishing a merit-based civil service, not surprisingly the BCL threatened female students with dire consequences; also not surprisingly no BCL leader was ever punished for such terrorism. https://www.daily-sun.com/post/322863/2018/07/17/%E2%80%98BCL-men%E2%80%99-threat-to-rape-female-quota-reformist-at-Jahangirnagar-University
