Crimes of sexual assaults, particularly rapes against women, children rising in Bangladesh

Dhaka, Nov 12 (UNI) Bangladesh government's recent move to send rapists to the gallows seems to have done little to instil fear in the perpetrators of the horrific crime against women.

According to Ain o Salish Kendra, a rights group, at least 208 cases of gang rape have been reported in the country in the first nine months of this year itself.
