Picture the scene. A woman in a bar. Dressed up for a night out, drinking and having fun. A group of men at the other side spot her. She leaves her drink on the table with her friend and goes to the toilet. She comes back and finishes the drink. Gradually she becomes more and more giddy, as if going under an anaesthetic.
Rape is a worldwide problem. It is a Black and White problem, a Young and Old problem, a Married and Single problem, and a Man's and Woman's problem.
EXACTLY. Where girls in the eg, Democratic Republic of Congo are gang rape constantly. This has become a norm in Africa, whereby the media doesn’t even report about it, rather dwell on child soldiers, which is also an epidemic and another huge blight on the continent of Africa. We also hear of gang rape in Haiti happening in the tented villages. Of young girls being taken from their family tents and rape during days. This is an outrage and I feel helpless as donations does not the situation solve.
Thank you for commenting. Yes, unfortunately rape and sexual assault do not get the attention they deserve. Dare I say, if it were an American/Western (White) woman or girl that was rape in Africa, we would be sending in troops!!! But poor miserable Third world women who are the product of their environment rarely get justice.

Hi, Thanks for stopping by. I do try to write as honestly as I can. Tis particular post was written by BritishAsianMum, and she put the words for this issue way better than I could have. I hope to hear from again!
It is so important to keep this topic in the news! Rape is the most extreme expression of the status of women in the world as “less than”… and all the other so pervasive brain-wash that Hollywood etc. continue to propagate must be stopped!
Thanks for this article ~

Hi Heartflow 2013,
This issue does need much awareness, as sexual assault is undereported and only a fraction of perpetrators are brought to justice because so much blame is placed on the victim. Thanks to British Asian Mum for writing the article.
I agree to this part, its the problem with the human psyche.
But its not just that, governance failure is also an issue in our(Bharat/India) case.
Hi thanks for stopping by and sharing your opinions. Sexual violence is an issue where major overhaul (institutional and societal views) changes are needed!

It’s definitely an issue, but the problem will never go away, especially since it’s not in a controllable setting. Additionally, women in the west have more protection than those in the Third World, and can therefore feel safe in public areas, like a bus, for instance. However, when it comes to bars and clubs, women need to be educated on the two simple rules: 1) Never go out alone 2) Never leave your drink unattended.
Yep and that goes for everywhere even in the Western world. But we also need to teach men to stop violence on women. Because know matter how “safe” a woman is being, she can still be attacked. So we need to teach men as well.
