Stop Gang Rapes

This is a site set up by the Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD) to support its latest campaign against gang rape.
One of the areas that the GHRD prioritises at the moment is Bangladesh - a country where human rights, specifically the rights of women are being brutally violated. These violations include: sexual & domestic violence, (marital) rape, infanticide, acid attacks, honour killings and gang rape. These types of violence, in particular the gang rapes, are controlling acts that repress women and cause them to face numerous obstacles in obtaining legal protection and justice for these atrocious crimes.
The Bangladesh government remains passive and fails to adequately investigate and charge the perpetrators. For this reason GHRD has begun the campaign “Stop the Gang Rapes”.
Through this campaign GHRD aims to increase awareness, knowledge and support for human rights abuse in Bangladesh starting from within The Netherlands. GHRD also aims to compel the Bangladesh government to take action by increasing public awareness in relation to this issue.
The rationale of GHRD’s goal is that when people stand up and acknowledge their outrage at these form of abuse, the government of Bangladesh will no longer be able to ignore these horrible deeds and will be forced to punish the perpetrators.
