Daag is a verified public archive documenting misogynistic, victim-blaming, and abusive comments made by named individuals on social media about incidents of gender violence in Bangladesh.
Every submission goes through editorial review before publication. We document the people behind the comments and build a verified, searchable record of who said what, and when.
Seen a misogynistic, victim-blaming, or abusive comment on a public Facebook post about gender violence? Submit it here. All submissions stay private until reviewed by our editorial team.
All entries have passed editorial moderation. Screenshots are blurred by default. This archive is a public record, not a tool for harassment or pile-ons.
All data comes from verified archive entries only. Updated weekly. Figures are shown at the aggregate level. No individual-level data is published here.
If you believe a submission involving you is inaccurate, missing critical context, or was submitted in bad faith, you can file a formal appeal. A panel separate from the original moderator reviews all appeals within 14 working days.
In Bangla, দাগ means stain, the kind that does not wash off. The name is deliberate. When men post victim-blaming, misogynistic, or violent commentary on public Facebook posts about gender violence, that behavior should leave a record. This project was built in response to a pattern: when incidents of rape, acid violence, or domestic abuse happen in Bangladesh, the comment sections fill with cruelty and then disappear. Daag exists to make sure they do not.
When news of a rape, acid attack, or domestic violence case spreads on Facebook, the comment sections often become a second site of violence. Victims are blamed for their clothing, behavior, family background, and character. Perpetrators are defended. Survivors are silenced.
These comments disappear quickly. They get moderated, deleted, or buried by newer content. But while they exist, they shape public discourse, discourage survivors from speaking, and signal to perpetrators that their community supports them.
Daag exists to preserve a systematic record of this discourse, not for outrage but for understanding. It is built for researchers, journalists, advocates, and policymakers who need evidence to make the case for change.
