In protest against the increasing violence, harassment, rape, online abuse, and the deteriorating law and order situation in the country, as well as the lack of justice, the Baisommoy Biruddhi Chhatra Andolon (Anti-Discrimination Student Movement) and Chhatra Dal organized a human chain.

On Monday (10th March 2025), the protest was held in front of Shariatpur Government College. The participants, holding various placards, included general students, guardians, and children.

During the protest, the student leaders expressed their concerns, stating that rape cases in Bangladesh have been increasing rapidly due to the failure to ensure proper justice for the perpetrators. They mentioned that women and children, including those wearing hijabs, have fallen victims to rape, and this is causing fear among the country's women and children, making them afraid to go outside. They emphasized the necessity of prompt and fair trials for rapists to stop such incidents and ensure justice.

The Convener of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement in Shariatpur, Imran Al Nazir, stated that after the fall of the Awami League government, the country was functioning well for a while. However, recently, incidents of rape, murder, looting, extortion, and robbery have been increasing. He suggested that these events are happening in a coordinated manner, driven by a group aiming to destabilize the country. Nazir a rgued that had proper investigations and swift justice been carried out in previous rape cases, such incidents would not have occurred. He emphasized that rapists should face public execution as a deterrent.

Chhatra Dal leader, Sabbir Ahmed, highlighted the role of women in the country's liberation, stating, "We gained independence at the cost of our mothers' and sisters' honor, and we never thought we would have to fight for their rights on the streets today." He pointed out the lack of justice in the ongoing cases of rape and called for the immediate trial of rapists.

A student named Iti Akter added, "If justice takes this long, how can we feel safe in Bangladesh? We are afraid to even walk outside. We are now fearful of the very people who are supposed to protect us, like our grandfathers, uncles, and cousins. There is no proper justice for rapists in this country. If rapists were punished properly, we would live in peace. It’s not only about clothing—now even women wearing hijabs and burqas are being raped. We demand swift and exemplary punishment for rapists."

The protesters unanimously called for an immediate and fair trial of rapists, with severe consequences to deter further crimes.
