The occurrence of rapes and gang-rapes in India have received a great deal of global attention. But if this report by Tania Rashid of Vice News is to be believed, the situation in neighboring Bangladesh may not be a whole lot better: "A recent UN report revealed that one in eight men in rural Bangladesh admit to having committed rape." (This Vice News report is revealing on multiple levels and bears repeated viewing. I was stunned by how astonishingly riverine and verdantly green Bangladesh looks in the video. Also priceless was the utter contempt Rashid expresses as she leaves a meeting with the head of a mosque.)
