A Crime Unpunished: Bangladeshi Gang Rape (Extra Scene)

Subscribe to VICE News here: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News
A recent UN report revealed that one in eight men in rural Bangladesh admit to having committed rape. Although it is a crime punishable by death, there are no accurate government figures for rape in Bangladesh, largely due to social stigma and a failure by local authorities to investigate alleged crimes.
VICE News correspondent Tania Rashid traveled to Sylhet and met with both perpetrators and victims of rape as well as local police to find out what is driving Bangladeshi men to rape and abuse women, and what steps the authorities are taking to put an end to it.

Wait! Did she say marry the attacker? That’s Hell on earth for the victims. You just gave HER a life sentence! Lord Have Mercy on ALL the victims!

Her comment on class (wealth) reminds me of a social theory I read about, regarding women's choice of dress. The argument put forth was that women dress in a revealing manner in part to assert their social rank. A woman of high social rank can maintain high visibility while walking among the lowly classes, because nobody would dare touch her (she's protected). Think of a princess, the king's daughter, as

As a Bengali i think you should not stay silence. Speak up and tuen Bangladesh into a better place

[@jackpotsb3]

This is fucked up, feminists and anyone who is for equal rights should be focusing on horrible shit like this and not the small things that many people complain about in western society, there is a lot sexism here but these problems are much much worse

[@Greed0Vasily]

Very unsettling to watch and think about. Thanks for sharing the video to the world. Now what can we do about it?

[@bubu84pl]

Damn, this is sick.

[@Mizunokage1]

This will never not make me sick. It's really horrible to think that the society shuns the victims to such an extent. I...really don't think I can put to words just how this makes me feel outside of that's just...fucking stupid. The worst part is its going to be a long....long...process that will take a long time before anything even remotely starts to change. It's something so ingrained in tradition and common practice-I really don't see it changing any time soon and that makes me just...ugh...

[@519OMG]

thats so messed up

[@joebainter]

Being made to marry your rapist. The thought that people actually believe in this crap boggles my mind!!

[@delusionnnnn]

Linguistic tangent not related to the aim of the video: it's interesting to see English loan words pop up so regularly, for precisely the same reason and in the same context as many Latin (and French) words show up in English. In the case of England, a lot of legal custom came from the Roman experience and filtered through French-speaking nobility. In the case of Bangladesh and India, the English loan words are also frequently those dealing with jurisprudence and administration, due to the long era of British rule.

Why are there always groups of young men hanging about the streets, looking at the women as they pass?

[@ayunakatsubasa]

At this point I'm still wondering why I haven't left to get the milk yet

[@FB0102]

Why does she speak some words in english? I hear victim, victimized, gang rape, in english.

[@BruceDylanTan]

Can someone explain why being raped will cause stigma against the victim? I don't quite get the link.

[@bnskbd]

It has to be stopped through community support
