The Crime Desk: According to the Human Rights Culture Foundation’s (MSF) human rights situation monitoring report, 296 women and children were tortured in June. MSF sent this report to the media on Sunday. This report is prepared based on the news published in national newspapers and the information collected by the organization.
According to the report, 296 incidents of violence against women and children took place in June. There have been 41 cases of rape this month. There were 11 gang rapes and three rape-and-murder incidents. Among them, six disabled children and teenagers were raped.
It is to be noted that among the 41 rape victims, there are six children, 18 teenage girls; on the other hand, five teenage girls and six women were victims of organized rape, and two children and one disabled woman were victims of rape and murder. During this time, 27 attempted rapes and 26 sexual harassments occurred. During this time, 41 incidents of physical violence occurred. A total of 61 people, including one child, 19 teenage girls, and 41 women, committed suicide during this time. Two teenage girls have been abducted this month, while four teenage girls are missing.
In addition, three children, four teenage girls, and eight women died unexpectedly in June. At this time, a total of 76 children, teenagers, and women were killed. Out of which, 27 are children and teenagers. According to the information available in the media sources, these have been committed due to revenge, family disputes, dowry, love affairs, failure in exams, pride, etc. In this month, three dead and one alive—a total of four newborn babies—were found abandoned in various places, which is inhumane and reprehensible. Authorities are not trying to ascertain why these children are being found abandoned.
