๐ Abstract
Evidence about sexual violence in Bangladesh is fragmented across individual reports, while official and civil-society statistics rarely provide reusable case-level detail. We examine how structured analysis can make one part of this fragmented record legible without treating it as prevalence data. Our corpus contains 2,811 articles timestamped 2013-2023 from the Prothom Alo publishing ecosystem; 2,794 include parseable metadata about reported victims, alleged perpetrators, incidents, legal responses, and locations. We combine descriptive and spatial analysis of these records with thematic analysis of 115 convenience-sample survey responses collected in late 2020. The corpus documents many young, female, and student victims, frequent acquaintance and neighbor relationships, uneven geographic documentation, and substantial missingness in legal outcomes. Respondents most often describe weak enforcement, insecurity, patriarchal socialization, education gaps, and community inaction as conditions enabling persistence. These findings characterize news documentation and public perceptions; they do not estimate incidence, geographic risk, or causality. We contribute an uncertainty-aware framing for HCI research using sensitive, low-resource news data and identify design requirements for provenance, privacy, validation, and responsible communication.
