Eight months into the BNP-led government, Bangladesh is facing a deepening human rights and security crisis.
📌 2,076 murder cases — Jan–July 2026

📌 1,621 women and girls subjected to violence — first six months
📌 1,077 children subjected to violence; 305 killed — first six months

International observers and human rights organizations must not look away.
