Bangladesh students decry surge in violence against women


Dhaka (AFP) – Crowds of Bangladeshi female students marched in Dhaka with burning torches, demanding the government stem a reported dramatic surge in violence against women. Some amongst the chanting crowd said that they had hoped that the student-led revolution that toppled autocratic ex-leader Sheikh Hasina in August would help improve the situation for women.
