SEREMBAN: A 34-year-old former cement truck driver has been sentenced to eight years' jail by the High Court here for manslaughter in the death of his four-year-old stepdaughter.
DHAKA: Before an eight-year-old girl could fully understand life, it was snatched away from her, leaving behind a tale of violence and vulnerability.
While the arrest of the accused, including her brother-in-law and other family members, is a necessary step, it does little to address the underlying issues that allowed such a horrific incident to occur in the first place. Moreover, this case highlights the social stigma and fear that often prevent victims and their families from seeking justice. In many instances, survivors are silenced by societal pressure or fear of retaliation, allowing perpetrators to act with impunity.
The brutal reality is that without structural reform and cultural shift, similar incidents will continue to plague the nation. This death should serve as a catalyst for action, pushing Bangladesh to break the cycle of violence and build a society where women and children can live without fear.
