Still from the documentary
Bangladesh is dealing with a lot of heaviness right now. Besides the fact that that secular writers keep getting hacked to death by mobs armed with meat cleavers, they’ve also got a serious rape problem. In fact, rape and gang rape in Bangladesh has reached alarming proportions. Despite being a crime punishable by death, 1 in 8 Bangladeshi men admit to having committed rape. A culture of impunity has developed in the nation: women are terrified to come forward, while those that do, face a disinterested, often hostile police force.
As part of VICE’s mission to make Canadian television not terrible, tonight at midnight CityTV will be airing our investigation into Bangladesh’s troubling rape culture.
