Abstract	The Liberation War of 1971 is a significant historical event in Bangladesh. The length of the war was nine months, but it left the killing of three million people, the exodus of ten million refugees, and the rape of around four lac women. Women were the worst sufferers during the war. They were abducted, raped and tortured irrespective of their cast and creed. Neelima Ibrahim narrates the horrific accounts of women's torture in her book Aami Birangana Balchi. It is the first compilation of Birangana’s memories. The book was translated into English in the name of War 1971 and I by Fayeza Hasanat, which is the primary text for this article. The article intends to explore how the horrific life of the victim women began through abduction and reached its climax through sexual, physical and psychological torture. It also focuses on why the Pakistani Army targeted women during the war. Primary text and secondary sources are used to write the article.
