The social evil - R@pe - Is India safe for women?

Nearly 80 r@pe cases taking place in India.

The r@pe cases have increased by 1.25 times against the increase of population of 1.14 tomes between 2012-22.

The situation is getting worse.

Vir Das had simply said that we are living in Two India. On one hand, women are worshipped in our country and on the other hand, they are subjected to heinous crimes.

One of Nirbhaya's r@pists, Mukesh Singh thought the same. He believed that if a girl goes out at night and wears "wrong" clothes, then she is responsible for the r@pe.

Once again, this is utter nonsense. r@pe doesn't happen because girls are out at night, they happen because r@pists are out at night.

Secondly, year after year, NCRB reports show that in more than 90% of the cases, the accused was someone close to the victim.

So in most cases, when someone close to the victim assaults them, then how does it matter whether a girl goes out at night or not.

The next condition is the victim's "loose character."

But another problem is that people either see women as goddesses or they see them as mere objects.

Why not treat them as humans instead? Like a man, every woman is a human too.

Such people point fingers are the woman's character. While the truth is, no one can be more characterless than people who think like this.

This is another excuse of the people with a r@pist mentality.

In fact, Section 63 of the BNS also states that if the woman's consent was given while intoxicated, it can be grounds for r@pe charges too.

The fifth condition, the most common form of victim blaming, that though r@pe is wrong but the girl was wearing short clothes. People hold on to this thinking that a girl is r@ped because of her short clothes.

An NGO, Akshara Centre surveyed 8 cities.

It surveyed approx 3,000 men and 3,000 women between the ages of 15-29.

54.8% of the men said that wearing revealing clothes leads to r@pe and sexual harassment happens.

But amazingly, 39.2% of females also believe this. That means women themselves believe these lies.

A popular perception is responsible for this way of thinking.

People believe that r@pe is caused by sexual Urge.

But the truth is that sexual urge has nothing to do with r@pe.

In Paul Gebhard's research

In reality, there are three reasons behind r@pe.

And r@pists are divided into three categories.

First are *Power r@pists, who are victims of self-worth issues. Through this act, they want to feel in power.

Second are Anger r@pists.

They are angry. They are abusive and use vile language. And even if the victim doesn't resist they still become violent. The r@pists of this category often kill their victims.

The third type are the Sadistic r@pists

Sadism means to get pleasure in other people's physical and mental suffering.

To enjoy themselves seeing others being oppressed or being tortured.

Such r@pists often torture their victims over a long time.

But why do some people become like this?

There must be some root causes behind this.

Look at this research.

This research was done on 269 offenders
and included r@pists.

Many causes were identified.

• The child abuse they faced in their childhood.

• P0m0graphy exposure before the age of 10,

• physical abuse,

• parental violence,

• emotional abuse,

• cruelty to animals,

• exposure to violent movies or media in childhood,

• a relationship filled with anxiety or distance from parents.

It is important to study these causes so that we can prevent the creation of new r@pists in our society.

Whereas, instead of a free human, a woman is seen as an inferior subhuman. There are countless restrictions on women.

Don't wear this, don't go out, don't laugh out loud.

A woman is often seen as an object.

As long as women are being objectified like this, as long as this r@pe culture continues, this problem won't be solved.
