Is morality connected to religion? It depends who you ask. Secular philosopher may say no it's conscience – an inborn quality!
My take on this is that religion shapes the moral values of a human being. Even the U.S. constitution contains religious (Judo Christians) creeds (e.g. public lewdness is not allowed) and forces the government to implement sensible safety net for the citizens.
Having said that, state has a big role to play when it comes to the practice of decency – it is not just up to the parents. If the sate encourages people to come in a gathering where no rules are set, it would be evidently very chaotic.
State needs to define and reliably set safeguards to deter any dreadful crime to occur. Police is part of that safeguard too.
In fact, what happened in DU is utterly despicable and police and above all the current regime both are equally guilty same as the actual criminals.

Thank you, Ali Shaheen and Dr. Fatima Ashrafi, for your views on the sordid, heinous and despicable assault on women, on the Bangla New Year's Day at TSC in Dhaka, which caused a storm in the country, including social media. I fully support your views.Violence against women exists throughout the world, and it is a measure, amongst others, of the barbarity and degradation, which exists in a society. These crimes need to be eradicated for the sake of humanity and human rights. Humanity and human rights must prevail.It is difficult to obtain true statistics of the violence against women, but whatever is obtained shows the horrifying state we have in the societies. The figures in the US speak quite loudly:Every 107 seconds, another American is sexually assaulted.According to the U.S. Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)--there is an average of 293,066 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year.

A Washington Post article analysed the reasons for violence against women in India:

Subject: Re: {PFC-Friends} RE: {NA Bangladeshi Community} নববর্ষ উদযাপনকালে যৌন সন্ত্রাস চলেছেThis I agree that women and girls are molested everywhere by everybody - religious, non religious, freedom fighter and Razakar alike. To protect women from abuse the following things help - education for financial freedom and self esteem, modesty and decency,truly educated male folk who respect women and strong political will and laws to punish anyone who abuses women. Education doesn't protect always - as a doctor I know my story and that of countless highly educated sisters but at least it allows the woman to stand with dignity and support herself and the most dearest and loved children.From Australia.FatimaDr Fatima A

Women are molested in religious societies and secular societies. It has to do with misogyny which is practised by men who are religious and secular, on the left and right and everywhere in between.--2015-04-15 13:48 GMT-04:00 Syed Haque <syedhaque@hotmail.com>:--This kind of behavior kindles your mind to ask what type of moral values brought by secularism when religious values are in clash with the concept of "free mixing" - a part of secular concept.Don't worry, BD where an unique form of dictatorial secularism is being practiced, is moving ahead of the game and will be even better than Singapore within a few years under the brilliant leadership of the current and lifelong PM.

নববর্ষ উদযাপনকালে যৌন সন্ত্রাস চলেছে ঃ লাকি আক্তার
14 Apr, 2015নববর্ষ উদযাপনকালে আজ ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সোহরাওয়ার্দী গেটে যে বর্বর ঘটনা ঘটছে, মেয়েদের উপর হামলা হয়েছে তা নিয়ে ছাত্র ইউনিয়ন কেন্দ্রীয় সভানেত্রী লাকি আক্তার তার ফেসবুক ক্ষোভ প্রকাশ করেছেন। তিনি লিখেছেন,
নববর্ষ উদযাপনকালে আজ ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সোহরাওয়ার্দী গেটে যে বর্বর ঘটনা ঘটছে, তা পেছনের ঘটে যাওয়া অনেক বর্বরতাকেও হার মানিয়েছে৷ কিছু সংঘঠিত পশু ,বখাটে সোহরাওয়ার্দীর গেটে অনেক নারী, শিশু ও কিশোরীদের উপর সংঘঠিতভাবে শকুনের মত ঝাপিয়ে পড়ে, শত শত লোকের সামনে পাশবিক কায়দায় যৌন নির্যাতন করে৷ অনেক নারীকে বিবস্ত্র করে ফেলা হয়৷ ছাত্র ইউনিয়নের নেতা কর্মীরা তাদের উদ্ধার করতে যায়৷ পশুগুলো হামলা চালিয়ে ছাত্র ইউনিয়নের ঢাবি সভাপতি লিটন নন্দীর হাত ভেঙ্গে ফেলে, অমিত হাতের আঙ্গুল ভেঙ্গে ফেলে ৷ এছাড়াও আরো অনেক নেতাকর্মী আহত হয়৷ ছাত্র ইউনিয়নের নেতাকর্মীরা পশু, জানোয়ার গুলিকে পুলিশের কাছে ধরিয়ে দিলেও পুলিশ তাদের ছেড়ে দিয়েছে৷ বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে হত্যাযগ্গের গটনা ঘটে, নাকের ডগা দিযে পার পেযে যায হত্যাকারীরা৷ হম্বিতম্বি করে এফবিআই আসার নাম করে, তদন্তে কিছুই পাওয়া যায় না৷ যৌন সন্ত্রাস চালানো হলে, অপরাধীদের ধরিয়ে দেয়া হলেও পুলিশ ছেড়ে দেয়৷ ক্যাম্পাস নিরাপদ নয় অনেক দিন ধরেই৷ যারা চুপ করে আছেন, আর কবে আপনাদের হুশ হবে? আসুন রুখে দাড়াই৷ প্রগতিবাদী সকল মানুষকে এর বিরুদ্ধে সোচ্চার হবার দাবি জানাই৷ আগামীকাল সকাল ১১টায় ছাত্র ইউনিয়নের মিছিল৷ বিকালে এই ঘটনায় পরিপ্রেক্ষিতে মামলা করবে ছাত্র ইউনিয়ন৷
