UNB, Dhaka :
US Ambassador in Dhaka Marcia Bernicat on Thursday called upon all to work together to eliminate violence against women saying this is now a global problem.
The call came when Khadiza Akhter Nargis, a student of Sylhet Government Mohila College, is struggling at a city hospital being a victim of violence against women. The Ambassador, in a tweet, also said such abuse must be fully investigated and prosecuted.
“Violence against women is a global problem we all must work to eliminate. Abuse must be fully investigated and prosecuted,” her tweet reads. On Monday, Khadiza was hacked by a Bangladesh Chhatra League leader in Sylhet and is on life support in a critical condition at Square hospital in the capital.
There are hack wounds all over her body and her head injury is very serious as she was taken for a second surgery, doctors said. Khadiza is daughter of Masuk Miah, a resident of Hausa village in Sadar upazila, who was stopped on her way back home from college by Badrul Alam, 30, assistant secretary of SUST unit of BCL.
