Female students of two Dhaka University halls feel insecure due to the continuous sexual harassments on the campus. A group of students from Fazilatunnesa Mujib Hall and Bangladesh-Kuwait Moitri Hall on Monday formed a human chain protesting at the recent sexual harassment of their fellows on the hall premises. Some local outsiders Saturday afternoon assaulted a university student as he was trying to protect his female friend from the harassment. Later, they also assaulted some female students who instantly agitated against the incident.
The students on Monday evening also blocked the nearest streets as part of their demonstration.
Speaking at the human chain, the students said the harassment of the female students was increasing as no punitive action was taken.
Sadia, Pritilata, and Umme Habiba Benjir, among others, spoke at the protest.
