The same bus that tries to serve women in the time of their need facilitates the abuse of women. Very recently, the Los Angeles Times wrote about a young woman being raped by five men in a minibus in Dhaka, echoing a fatal attack on a woman in New Delhi in 2012. Another woman was raped in the same manner in a running minibus, which was heading towards Dhaka from Tangail. Those cases stay obscure most of the timeWhy do men rape women on public transportation, and threaten them afterwards? Our so- called authority reserves distinctive mohila seats for women, but whenever a woman is alone in the bus, she becomes an inferior creature.
