The news of recent violent crimes in Dhaka are shocking and upsetting. The way the 18-year- old girl's body was found mutilated is just horrifying. How can we say that we live in a civilised society after this? Women and children are the main victims of cruelty and barbarism. Moral values are degrading day by day. Social crimes, unrest, tension and apprehension are increasing. I do not know how to feel safe anymore. Is there any way out from this social decadence? Human beings are supposed to be the best creations- will our political parties, civil society organisations, mass media, educational institutes, religious leaders and senior citizens take the necessary initiatives to stop violence?
