{March 18, 2009}   Question of Life and Death..

Rape is common news of Bangladeshi newspapers. We often see rape in the front page as highlighted news. Sometimes newspapers show picture of a raped women. When a woman raped she already faces the physical harassment, but when the picture and the details is shown to the all people through newspapers the woman harasses for the second time by other people. A newspaper provides all the minor details about the incident.

When I was in grade 12, I read a newspapers article. (Sorry that I forget the name of the news paper) The article was written about a raped school girl who committed suicide a few days ago. The girl committed suicide because of unnecessary publication of news paper. The girl was raped few days ago, and a reporter went there and took her and her families interview then published it with her picture. After that the girl could not go outside, because everyone look at her with a criticize eyes. She felt shy to go outside. She stopped to study and the most sadness that her boyfriend refused her to marry. Therefore she committed suicide.

It is important to let people know about the incident of rape, but sometimes it could be a question of life and death.
