DHAKA: Bangladesh has ordered some 27,000 schools to set up committees to prevent sexual violence, an official said Sunday , after a teenager who accused a teacher of sexual harassment was burnt to death.
Amid nationwide protests, the Bangladesh government has ordered more than 27,000 schools and colleges to form five-member committee to prevent sexual violence, an official said. He said the committees were being formed by an order from the country's high court, which in 2009 laid down a set of guidelines to prevent sexual harassment of women and children at workplaces, schools and on the streets.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has vowed that all those involved will face action and police say they are investigating why more was not done to protect Rafi.
