Rapists are emboldened due to low conviction rates in rape cases, delayed justice: speakers Photo courtesy: Debate for Democracy Star Online Report Star Online Report Due to the abysmally low conviction rates in rape cases, an overwhelming majority of rapists in Bangladesh believe that they will get away after raping a girl or woman, said Manusher Jonno Foundation Executive Director Shaheen Anam this morning.
