On 1 October 2020, Ain 0 Salish Kendra, Bangladesh-based human rights organization, revealed that from January to September of that year, more than 1,000 women were raped, 43 of whom died. More than 200 women managed to evade their attempted rapist.

In six administrative districts of Bangladesh, from 2011 to 2018, the courts only convicted five out of 4,372 rape cases, as reported by Naripoltho, a local women's rights group.""
