"Forms of violence might differ from one country to another. In Bangladesh, Newspapers are always filled with ‘hot’ news of murder, rape, grabbing etc. Now-a-days a new kind of violence is surpassing all the others. Rejection of unwanted proposal, dowry, land related quarrels etc is the reason behind all this violence," writes Tanvir Zahid Nayan.

Acid Violence in Bangladesh

Tanvir Zahid Nayan, journalists from Bangladesh, shares this week a news report on Acid Violence in Bangladesh.
This sort of violence, although pupular in Asia, is not so popular in areas like Latin American. It seems interesting to notice how some social problems are not talked about in other parts of the world.

Adriano Koehler, 35, Brazilian, wrote on Economy and National Politics, but
he gave up. Now he writes on literature at Rascunho,
