This tweet was written by Taslima Nasreen, a Feminist Activist from Bangladesh who is taking up a response to an article that addresses capital punishment for the rape of minors as inhumane and ineffective in preventing such crimes. Taslima uses this tweet to imply that such kinds of thinking are part of the problem with the culture of the region and that men need to be reeducated and that there are steps that can be taken to stop rapes from occurring. With 270K followers on Twitter, her voice is being projected to a large audience who is liking and sharing her work all over the world. As a rising voice in Bangladesh, she is able to bring much attention to these topics and push for organization and charge that could really impact the lives of women living in these areas.
