Abuse of male has increased in Narayanganj, a district under Dhaka division. Also around 80% among the married men in the district fall victim of mental torture, claimed a report of Bangladesh Man’s Rights Foundation.
The organization claimed that men were falling victims of mental abuse more than physical abuse. Most of these incidents are being suppressed due to various reasons including public shame.
