Even in the modern era, Bangladesh’s female population is still experiencing age-old abuses. Rape, child marriage, and domestic violence are still prevalent in the country. Bangladesh has a fairly high fertility rate and a very young population with 34% aged 15 and younger and just 5% aged 65 and older.
