To begin with, the politicians in our nation are accountable for this disgrace. I will refrain from naming any particular party; the primary responsibility for child abuse in Bangladesh rests with the senior leaders of all political factions. However, it is shameful that they neither take nor acknowledge this responsibility. I am attributing blame to politicians in light of the rape and murder of child Ramisa in Mirpur. The immediate response to this might be, 'Will politicians go from door to door to protect children?' In a civilized political framework, there is no necessity for politicians to go door to door to safeguard children; if educated and aware individuals with a sense of civic duty and state customs are nurtured, they will become the guardians of their own moral compass. Another response might be, do educated individuals not commit crimes? Certainly, they do; however, genuinely educated individuals do not resort to violence, whether physical or verbal. This is our misfortune, a disgraceful failure on the part of our politicians. The education system in Bangladesh could arguably be considered one of the most inadequate education systems globally at this time.

Currently, the familiar classroom of the second grade at the Popular Model School in Mirpur is enveloped in silence. Outside, the sun blazes, yet the interior of the room is shrouded in a dull, icy gloom.

Each day, upon engaging with the media, we are confronted with distressing reports of child abuse, rape, murder, kidnapping, and child labor.

Whether at school, at home, or on the streets, it appears that children are not entirely safe in any environment.
