RAPE is a type of sexual assault, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person’s consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority or with a person who is incapable of valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, or below the legal age of consent. This is what RAPE means.
What comes in our mind when we read newspaper reports “a girl is being raped”? Do we blame her dress code, place, time, her characters? But...no matter where, at what time, what she wore or whatever she did – if she said “NO”, it is “RAPE”. Our conceptions and understanding towards the victims promoted the RAPISTS to have a sense of raping innocent children and women in today’s society. We are an idiot to blame the victims rather than helping them, which leads the rapist to fulfil his lustful fantasies – to rape again and again, whenever chances come. Do we raped a baby girl just because of her dress? Do we raped a women just because she is too flirty - loose characters - street girls? Or just because we try ourselves to show off that guys are stronger or braver than women? No..! We are just an IDIOT!
It is not a shame at all to report sexual offence, but it is one of the sweetest source to solve the problems and the most preventive measures to avoid RAPE. Many of the children and women in our society hesitate to report to their parents-relatives-elders. We tend to know such incident only when the situation is critical and most of the victims reported as only the last option or knowing herself that she won’t be able to manage her problem. It is believed that rape also happens within a family, husband-wife, friend circles, relatives and in a relationship. We may wonder how “rape” can be happen in life-partner (husband & wife), but once a women say “NO” or if it’s without her consent, it’s a RAPE.
Have we ever think how many of our beloved children, sisters and women in our society have had faced such situation which remains unheard where they hid and ashamed of to let know their parents and swallowed the pains though it truly hurts them. Here, it is our duty to have a good relationship with parents to daughters to parents. In a situation where daughters trust their parents, they are likely to share the top secrets. If it’s not, parents may not be able to find out the hidden dark side of our dear ones. PAINFUL!
When crimes are not publicized, it seems to repeat one after another unnoticed. We all want to stop “rape” but no one will be able to STOP it until and unless if the crime is not reported. It is known that most of the victim reported only when they are in helpless condition, researchers found that women who have been abused or raped tend to hide such offences. In such condition the rapist will not QUIT his attitude unless we do something against the rapist. Let us be open, let us not feel shame to stand-up for the TRUTH in order to PREVENT rape.
