In Bangladesh, the definition of rape has an exception. It says that only if the girl is under the age of 14, “sexual relations will be considered rape.” However, in Bangladesh, individuals are considered children until the age of 16, and the age is 18 according to the United Nations.

Wearing a teep is my choice
As a Bengali woman, donning a teep is part of one’s culture and tradition. I had seen my mother use the teep as a part of her look in the ’60s and ’70s.

Then why are women still being forced to sign away their right to motherhood while seeking a job?
