Rage for Rape

A physically disabled protestor attends a rally at Manik Mia Avenue, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, to raise her voice against the recent brutal rape of a woman.

Some may think women are weak and do not contribute to society. But women are unbeatable and fearless. Some may think the kitchen is a woman’s limit. But actually the sky is the limit. Women risk their lives to save their children; women raise their voices for justice; women can earn their living and support their family.
