Parliament approved the ‘Draft Law on the Suppression of Violence against Women and Children (Amendment) -2000’ with the provision of the death penalty as the maximum punishment for rape. The word “victim” has been added instead of the word “rape” in the existing law. The Minister of State for Women’s and Children’s Affairs, Fazilatun Nesa Indira, proposed to approve the bill in Parliament on Tuesday and it was approved by voice.
The parliamentary committee recommended replacing the word ‘rape’ with the phrase ‘victim of rape’ in the bill in the context of the word rape that was introduced at different times as indicative of gender inequality. In several places, including section 9 (2) of the original law, the word “victim” has been added in place of the word “rape.”
The government took the initiative to modify the law in response to the national movement against rape and violence against women and the demand for the death penalty for rapists. As there is no parliamentary session, the amended law was implemented on October 13. Abdul Hamid issued the “Suppression of Abuse of Women and Children (Amendment) Ordinance 2000.” Subsequently, the Minister of Justice, Anisul Haque, raised the ordinance in Parliament on November 8 to make it law under the constitutional obligation. On the same day, the Minister of State for Women and Children made it a bill in parliament. Subsequently, the bill was referred to the Permanent Parliamentary Commission of the ministry in question for examination and report to Parliament. Violence against women and children in 2000

Subsection 9 (4) (a) of the law establishes that “if a person attempts to kill or injure a woman or a child through rape, that person will be punished with life imprisonment and an additional fine.” The bill approved modifying this subsection has added the words “death penalty or life imprisonment” instead of “life imprisonment”.
