Rape And Rape Essay

Freda Adler once said, “Rape is the only crime in which the victim becomes the accused.” Women should not have to go thru so much pain and agony, and our voices should be heard and expressed throughout the countries. After watching India’s Daughter, a young college student that just wanted to live her dream to become something great, her life span was short lived due to 6 men raping her, by pulling her intestines out, and thrown off a moving bus.

According to the Great Chain of Being, the first estate is considered to be very holy and extremely close to God. They are considered to be honest and God's messengers. The Pardoner is a part of the first estate. A Pardoner is responsible for giving out "pardons" which is a piece of paper that promises to reduce your time in purgatory. Purgatory is the time you spend before you're let into heaven.

In this short video and article on the topic of gendercide, reporter Elizabeth Vargas travels to India to found out from the people of India personally why there is such a shortage of females. She discovered that although aborting a fetus of a female child is illegal because of the shortage of females, families still continue to abort them because they don't want the burden that the baby girls brings. Vargas also discovered that illegal sex determination clinics can be found just about on every street. Men and their families also the wives to have sex determination tests and abort the baby if it’s female.

The main issue that brought attention to this law was the Singh case, which demonstrates a man murdering his wife, with his first attempt of strangling her, and when that was not successful, he began to slit her throat with a Stanley knife. This degree of violence, alongside his sentencing gives the impression that the judiciary system, courts and parliament partially understood the idea that men should have the authority to violently retaliate to the words of women, which can potentially lead to death. The idea that women ask for violence through their words or actions, and the concept of ‘a crime of passion’ are very outdated, and display the values that societies held when women did not have the same amount of rights, respect and power in

Sexual assault and rape are serious social and public health issues in the United States and throughout the rest of the world. In particular sexual assault on college campus are prevalent at an alarming rate and leaves serious effects on the victims. This essay will focus on statistics and the prevalence and effects amongst college students, through examining a number of reasons why women fail to report sexual assault and rape. This essay will also cover sexual assault prevention and things that can be done to mitigate the risk of becoming a victim to such matter.

     Rape is a crime of violence and aggression that not only hurts a victim for the moment, but it shatters her entire life. According to the Britannica Encyclopedia, rape is defined as “any kind of unlawful sexual activity, usually sexual intercourse, carried out forcibly or under threat of injury and against the will of the victim.” This definition has been redefined to cover same-sex attacks and attacks against those who are incapable of valid consent, including persons who are mentally ill, intoxicated, drugged, etc. (rape). Because rape crimes affect all races, cultures, ages, and economical classes, it is difficult to create concrete research on the topic because of the

What is rape, and to whom does it happen? Generally speaking, rape is a violent sexual act imposed on a nonconsenting partner that makes you question many things about yourself. Unfortunately the mythology usually surrounding rape is that it only happens to women. The fact is, rape does not only happen to women, but men as well. It is one of the most misunderstood of all crimes, and when the victim is male, understanding why it has happened, is one of the hardest things to comprehend.

The topic of sexual assault has always been a tough subject to discuss because it is a heinous crime that can and has happened to men, women, young and old. It is a topic that is disturbing and heart wrenching, especially when involving children. In the past few years, our media outlets have captured the images and stories on sexual assault, focusing mainly on College Institutions and how sexual assault cases have been handled within those institutions. Sexual assault is a very important topic to discuss, since this can happen to anyone you know, man or woman, adult or child, or yourself. This paper will touch on the different types of sexual assault, stigma of sexual assault, treatment of sexual assault, and understanding the perpetrator. There will be a brief discussion of the current social issue of college campus sexual assault. Sexual assault is such a wide topic with many areas to discuss, but this paper will outline the basic understanding of sexual assault and what can be done to overcome this stigma of sexual assault and how we can help the victims/survivors.

On December 16, 2010 in Delhi, India a young woman and male were brutally attacked. Jyoti Singh, a 23-year-old physiotherapy intern and her friend Awindra Pandey were on their way home after seeing a movie together. Around 9pm at night the two decided to travel home on a private bus shuttle that claimed to be going to their destination, Dwarka. After travelling on the bus for several minutes Awindra Pandey noticed the bus was veering off route and began feeling suspicious of others on board. Once Pandey addressed his concerns the five other men on board began verbally and physically harassing the two, making comments such as “ Why are you two out so late.” The men proceeded to beat Pandey and proceed to take Jyoti Singh

Many of the attitudes, beliefs, and mistaken ideas about rape have been with us for centuries. By looking at myths, such as "women ask for it," and "women secretly enjoy rape," from a historical perspective, lead us for better understanding how they evolved. Women are still seen as the property of men, are protected as such. Men and women are still taught to occupy very different roles in today's world. Men are usually in power positions, and women are seen as passive. This socialization process is changing, but slowly.

This acknowledgment helps us complicate the challenging circumstances women faced during Partition which included intra-family domestic violence. Patriarchy was a structure that endowed men with privilege which they abused to inflict violence on women. This violence could occur in the form of domestic abuse, abduction, rape and forced prostitution. Sidhwa shows us how patriarchal privilege was utilized by both Father and Ice-candy-man in different ways. Father physically and verbally abuses Mother whereas Ice-candy-man leads a mob to abduct Ayah. While Ice-candy-man’s actions are a public spectacle, Father’s crimes are committed in hushed voices in his bedroom away from the servant’s eyes. This challenges the assumption that Indian women were only at risk of gender violence by men from other communities. Instead, Sidhwa exposes how inter-community violence was spoken about publicly while inter-community abuse of women within their households or sexual harassment of working class women at their workplaces was ignored since it did not further nationalist

Official documents have little say about women and children of the Partition as they were viewed as a collective. Earlier reports on the abduction of women only gave the reader the statistics and brief statements that glorified community nationalism rather than the victims itself. Many failed to dwell into the individual trauma of this particular group (Menon & Bhasin, 1998, p.11). Rani’s testimony was significant in that not only it opened us to another outlook from a witness point of view; it also revealed that people who were not physically involved were also affected psychologically. This was also the only part in the testimony where Rani displayed sympathy and grievance. Her sensitivity and deep connection with these victims correlated with age and gender. Her emphasis on the words ‘young’ and ‘girl’ throughout her testimony evoked our sense of disbelief that people would do such inhumane things to each other (cited in Butalia, 2000, p.271). Her hesitant manner, evident

Kainat and her family showed true bravery in this rape case. They went against tradition and stuck with their morals. There is still a strong stigma with rape. People will say the girl was asking for it, and that is not true. You cannot justify rape by blaming the victim for looking a certain way. I watch a documentary on Netflix called “India’s Daughter”, unfortunately, the young woman did not get to confront her perpetrators like Kainat because she was murdered after being raped. Women here are seen as confident, healthy, and powerful while women elsewhere are subjected to horrible conditions, they are repressed and discriminated against by their own neighbors. The men in this video prove that women’s lives don’t matter because if she acts

Jyoti Singh was a young, 23 year old Indian woman who had aspiring ambitions to be a doctor. Little was known that her dreams would not be come true due to what occurred on December 16, 2012. Jyoti was making her way back to her home with her friend on a typical night out when she was barbarically gang raped by six men on a bus. The gruesome details of her rape shook the entire city of New Delhi. It was reported that she was sadistically raped by a rusted rod and had her insides brutally torn from her. When the shameless culprits were interrogated for their reasons, they calmly retorted that they didn’t like the fact that she was out late at night with a male friend. If you find yourself glancing back at their reasons with an outrageous look, you are not alone. Millions of women marched the streets of Delhi to protest the issue of women safety. Furthermore many people advocated giving these men the capital punishment of death. Yet is that enough? Is hanging a bunch of young men going to eliminate the deeply entrenched culture that holds lack of respect for women? I believe the key solution of eradicating this pressing issue should not necessarily focus on punishment, but on prevention of these atrocities in the first place. Thus, this could be only accounted by increase in the quality of education in these places. I believe that education can bring women liberation from these

India, a nation which had Mahatma Gandhi as its role model of uprightness became so remarkably violent and corrupt that the women can no longer be safe within their bodies. Mahatma Gandhi who defeated the Britishers to save the Indians by relying on non-violence is considered as the father of the nation, but his sense of honor are being deceived so easily that a woman is raped every twenty minutes in India [1] In the world’s largest democracy and even children of five years are subjected to rape [2]. Women in contemporary Indian society are really leading if we compare them from the ancient time. Women are the congenital part of our society and cannot be cast aside due to their less power and authority. The basic section of society is a woman. As woman makes a family, a family makes a home and homes make a society. So we should never think that a society would come into continuance without the contribution of women. But with the development in the society as women is becoming empowered , Indeed there are few categories of crime that affect the community and their victims as much as rape, sexual assaults, and the other sex related crimes. The impacts of sexual assault and rape crimes can be easily seen in the very way we live our lives and raise our family because it has a great affect on our
