Akhi, an honors student of Eden College Dhaka Bangladesh lay down on the street (see attached file) after viciously violated at capital city couple of days ago. Sister Akhi sorry to say has been victim of acid violence and brutally stabbed by her male friend at the nearer marriage register office of Eden college when she refused him to marry.

Horrifying
What a horrifying incident. Your call to action is spot on--- STOP!
I can't even imagine how actions like this can be considered a possibility-- it would never cross my mind. How did our world teach men that these are appropriate responses?
Our future depends on men stepping up and saying ENOUGH, and teaching young boys better ways of being men.
Thank you brother, I'm with you.

Your article
Dear Manu,
I wish I didn't have to say thank you for writing this article and making us aware. I don't know the answer but I agree with Scott, that we need to teach young boys better ways of being men. I spend a lot of time in Livingstone, Zambia where I have a non-profit organization for street orphans and vulnerable children. But I am from Chicago, Illinois USA. One day several of the Grade 10 boys I sponsor were watching a movie with me in my room. Suddenly a young girl was taken into another room in the movie and raped by the sounds. The boys were chuckling. I stopped the movie and yelled "Would you think it was so funny if that were your mother?" They became somber. Then we had a talk. I made a commitment that day to raise the issue more with young boys we sponsor. BUT I FORGOT. You have reminded me. Thank you for providing a checkpoint for me and making me take notice. In a sense, you have evoked change.

Thank you for becoming
Thank you for becoming another voice activating for positive change and for bringing awareness to an issue that needs attention. As Scott said, you are spot on, this kind of action towards women needs to be stopped!

Men getting involved
Hi Manu,,
It is nice to have a man/men get involved so thank you from a part of the female population. I think that is key. I think we begin to see we are making progress when men begin to speak out against the inappropriate behavior of other men. Men will often listen to other men before they will listen to a women (God forbid!). So, you play an important role. I hope you will use it to the max !
