Implementation of the ban on the Two-Finger Test (TFT) in collecting medico-legal evidence on rape

The Two-Finger Test (TFT) in collecting evidence on rape has long been criticised as a violation of womenʼs fundamental rights, including the right to privacy, physical and mental integrity, and dignity. The test is neither scientific nor reliable. . In April
2018, the Bangladesh High Court officially banned the use of TFT in medico-legal evidence collection for rape cases.

This qualitative study explores the current status of the implementation of theTFT ban and the challenges in its implementation.
