| dc.description.abstract | Rape Victims is an emerging issue now a day which denotes gender discrimination and
human rights violation of women. Many women in Bangladesh are forced to deal with
harassment and un-warranted attention, just because they are women. Women are
vulnerable to the harassment as they lack in power and self-confidence, and are socialized
that they are to suffer in silence. This research is concerning the laws of Rape Victims in
different countries including Bangladesh. The main purpose of it is to show the extend of
legal measures available on Rape Victims in the country and the initiatives taken by the
Government to combat it. In this research, an overview has been given on what we
understand by Rape Victims and its effect, the international laws on Rape Victims,
Bangladesh laws on Rape Victims and the opinions expressed by the Special Rapporteur
on violence against women. By amending existing laws with the effective measures from
international laws regarding Rape Victims and effectively implement the provisions
relating to it in every sphere of our social and economic life, then it is possible to prevent
Rape Victims in our country as well as in the world. | en_US |
