Download Sexual harassment against women in Bangladesh is turning deadly.

According to local human rights groups 28 women committed suicide this year to escape frequent sexual harassment.

Before killing themselves most of them wrote a note demanding an end to the sexual harassment known locally as ‘eve teasing’ where boys intercept girls on the street, and shout obscenities, laugh at them, pull or touch them or worse.

The war crimes tribunal accused Delwar Hossain Sayedee of mass murder and torture among other crimes.

The figure has increased ten fold in ten years and now 66 percent of all deliveries in hospital are by cesarean.
