Maccabee R., Bangladesh: "Whenever a man seduces a girl or woman to have sex, and then does not stay with her for the rest of his life (if the woman or girl selects this option), then this is rape. It's as simple as that. No girl or woman would let a man have sex if the promise of lifelong monogamy would not be implied in male sexual advances. And rapists must suffer maximum punishment. Prison guards must also refrain from protecting them from the anger of other inmates so they will pay the full price for their crimes against humanity."

Wenn ein Mann ein Mädchen oder eine Frau zum Sex verführt haben, und dann nicht mit ihr für den Rest seines Lebens bleiben (wenn die Frau oder ein Mädchen diese Option nicht), dann ist das Vergewaltigung. Es ist so einfach. Kein Mädchen oder eine Frau ließ ein Mann Sex haben, wenn das Versprechen des lebenslangen Monogamie nicht bei männlichen sexuellen Avancen impliziert. Und Vergewaltiger leiden müssen eine maximale Bestrafung. Gefängniswärter muss auch davon absehen, sie zu schützen vor dem Zorn der anderen Insassen, so dass sie den vollen Preis für ihre Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit zu verurteilen.

Population

The population of the country currently stands at around 126 million. 80 percent of the people live in rural areas and 60 percent of the people depend on agriculture for their livelihood.

Rice and fish are common diet. Lungis and vests are the usual attire for men in the rural areas as opposed to shirts and trousers in the urban areas. Sarees are the common dress for womenfolk.

There are about one million tribal people, the majority of whom live in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The tribes have distinct cultures of their own.

Decades-old tribal unrest was now settled with the signing of a peace treaty between the PCJSS (representing the tribal community) and the government in December, 1997 in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region .
