Dhaka, March 9 -- Students, primarily female, staged overnight protests at various public universities, including Dhaka University (DU), demanding immediate justice for the recent cases of rape and sexual harassment across Bangladesh.
At Dhaka University, students from Kabi Sufia Kamal Hall gathered at the base of Raju Smrity Bhasjkarjya (Raju Memorial Sculpture) at midnight and started protests chanting various slogans.
Students from other dormitories joined the protests and announced the Raju Smrity Bhasjkarjya as the "Anti-Rape Platform" (Dharshan Birodhi Monch) to amplify their voices against rape and violence against women.
They demanded the formation of a tribunal to ensure that justice is served without delay.
