Drug addiction has reached scary levels across Bangladesh with nearly 8 million people hooked on dangerous substances. Experts gathered at a seminar and shared shocking numbers about how drugs fuel crime and violence. Half of all criminal acts connect directly to people using illegal substances. Sexual assault cases tie back to drug abuse about 65 percent of the time. The crisis keeps getting worse as more people fall into the trap of addiction every day.

Professor Sabina Yasmin warned that the number of addicts could jump to 10 million people within five years. Drug users have killed over 200 parents during the past decade alone. Bangladesh has turned into a major route for moving drugs even though the country does not make them locally. Police report that 8 out of 10 criminals sitting in jail are drug users. Murder cases involve drugs nearly half the time according to official records.

Domestic violence often starts when someone in the family uses drugs. About 500 people die from drug problems every year across the nation. Young people also struggle with phone addiction as a separate mental health crisis. Parents spend less than 15 minutes each day talking with their children. Experts call for a nationwide movement to fight drugs and save families from this growing disaster.
