Rape Causes part 1
A video has gone viral and it has brought to fore the issue of what causes rapes.
Is the size of a woman’s dress as an invitation to all and sundry to rape her? Available data reveal that in India, on an average 106 rapes are reported every day, out of which 40 per cent of the victims are minors. It is even more shocking that in nearly 95 per cent of the cases, rapes are committed by none other than the relatives and family members, or people known to the victims. Rapes are a universal occurrence, they are not restricted to any particular country, region, race, caste or class. This happen as much as among the poor, rural, illiterates as among the rich, urban and the so-called elites.
Rapists have all sorts of excuses and justifications for their acts. The reasons quoted are so diverse that it is nearly herculean to generalize. Rapes are committed by religious leaders, teachers, guardians, father, brother, relatives, neighbours, friends, acquaintances or even strangers.
