I remember the Concert for Bangladesh to raise money for them. It was a very sad situation there.

Bangladesh ... that word brings back memories of reading about and seeing news reports of starvation, death, and dying. I don't remember hearing about the rapes back in that day.

Rape was hardly mentioned at all back then. It just wasn't reported.
