As part of the Bangladesh Rape News Stories Tracker, this report compiles media-reported incidents of rape in Bangladesh for May 2025. This initiative by the Bangladesh Feminist Archives aims to document cases of sexual violence to ensure visibility, preserve records, and support feminist advocacy.
Note: This list is not complete. Many cases go unreported or do not receive media attention due to stigma, fear, or systemic suppression. This tracker relies on publicly available reports and aims to document as much as possible within these limitations.
