There are certain topics which, when in the news, garner a lot of attention and opinions from varying perspectives. Sexual abuse and rape, financial scandals, the myriad shortcomings of government agencies—these are all matters of public interest that we all have something to say about, no matter which side of the "argument" we are on. So it is curious that the ghastly incidents of abuse and/or murder of a large section of working Bangladeshis (most of whom are minors and/or female) pass us by, practically unnoticed.
