Local issues dominate our edit write-ups and it is extremely rare that the subject is a story that took place out of the country. Yet, a grim tale, which unfortunately resonates here too is the focus of this edit, and a call for renewed and robust movement on sexual harassment.

At least 16 people have been charged in Bangladesh over the murder of a teenager who was burned to death after reporting sexual harassment. The girl was doused with kerosene and set on fire on the roof of her Islamic school days after filing a complaint. She complained against the headmaster, who police now say ordered her murder from prison when she refused to withdraw her accusations against him.
