Rape is not just a heinous crime; it is a global crisis that deeply affects millions of lives. With 1 in 3 women worldwide experiencing sexual violence and over 28,000 reported rape cases in India in 2020 alone, the numbers tell a grim story of misogyny, power, and fear. This episode delves into the psychology of rapists, highlighted by a chilling study from Tihar Jail, India, revealing the mindset of perpetrators. It also explores the profound, lifelong trauma faced by survivors and the urgent need for legal, psychological, and societal reforms. As debates around capital punishment intensify, it's time to address the systems that allow this crime to persist and push for comprehensive change. #EndRapeCulture #JusticeForSurvivors #StopSexualViolence #BreakTheSilence #Skibetto #controversialism

Extreme Cases of Sexual Violence Against Women: Is Severity Of Punishment A Deterrent? The recent rape and murder incident in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata has again brought back shocking incidents of extreme sexual violence against women into our collective focus. A couple of days following this, another gruesome rape and murder case of a 14 year old Dalit child was reported from a village of Muzaffarpur district in Bihar. Citizens from all walks of life stand visibly shaken and concerned. Families sending out their daughters to schools, hostels, and workplaces are worrying a lot about their safety. Young women are spending their daily trips to workplaces in perpetual worry whether they would come back without someone troubling them. To lend context to such worry, recent data of National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reveals that the highest number of rape victims belong to the age group of 18 to 30, who constitute a vital part of the country’s female workforce. The Prime Minister (PM) spoke on this while delivering his address from the ramparts of the Red Fort in New Delhi on 15th August that “there is public outrage over atrocities against our mothers and sisters. I feel this outrage. The country, the society, our state governments need to take this seriously. Crimes against women must be probed as soon as possible, those involved in monstrous acts must face strict punishment at the earliest, this is necessary to create faith in society.” The PM also added, “it is the need of the hour that extensive discussion on those receiving punishment be held so that those committing this sin understand that this leads to hanging. I think it is very important to instill this fear.” Read my piece on the issue. https://lnkd.in/gJecqeHp #women #dignity #masculinity #patriarchy #justice #safety #protection #violence

I don’t understand why there is a Nationwide outrage over Kolkata Rape and Murder Case. Because in India there are an average 86 rapes daily and around 49 offences against women per hour and yet people are silent. The crimes against women category included offences like rape, rape with murder, dowry, acid attacks, suicide abetment, kidnapping, forced marriage, human trafficking, online harassment, among others. One of the main reasons behind raising rape is due to the male-dominated society. Women have a low representation in such societies and many men think that women are only born to be used. Hence, women are limited to household activities, sexual activities and so on. I can't help but notice that out of a myriad of rape cases that happened, only one rape case (Kolkata doctor rape case) is being highlighted. Another rape case happened against a nurse in Uttarakhand, but no-one is talking about this, either. What's up with this selective outrage against rape? What are your thoughts and opinions?

In 2007 she left her job to start an organisation to help women. But after the Nirbhaya case, she became the face of that moment and today she is a well-known anti-rape activist of India. My guest is Yogita Bhayana. The woman who has unshakable courage and strength to fight against this big cause and stand by what she believes. This was a heart-shattering conversation but also a conversation that was much needed to go around. Here are my key takeaways from our conversation: → Almost 90% rape cases are not reported in India because the victim’s family either doesn’t allow them or doesn't support or encourage them. → The number of rape cases hasn’t gone down much, there are still brutal rape cases happening in the outskirts of India. → Religion and Bollywood are the two major things that Indians believe in. Movies that show domestic violence and other crimes done by the hero influence more of these crimes. → Education on how to perceive women is important. Many men who are not educated on how to treat a woman, grow up thinking low about women, so we need to change it. → Major challenges that a rape victim goes through is no social support, investigators are mostly overworked so they are not able to focus on one case, and not everyone can afford private lawyers as they are costly. → Many culprits of rape have two common patterns. They watched pornography and they were drunk. We also discussed about: ? Heart-shattering human trafficking and rape cases? ? What are a few causes that lead to an increase in such crimes? ? Barriers and difficulties that rape victims face ? How do victims deal with post-trauma of rape ? How can people help her to help rape victims? That’s all I for you today!

The way gender-based tragedies are reported in India is severely concerning, especially when discussing matters of sexual violence. Not only does it dehumanize the victim (or survivor) of the crime, but it goes as far as sexualizes them. ??Following the henious sexual attack against the doctor in Kolkata, individuals across the country began looking up for videos of the attack as it occurred on porn websites. As abhorrent as it is, the media is also to be blamed for this. ??During a discussion with our wonderful Indian Cultural Representative last week; Dr.Shilpa S. mentioned how the extinct of the description heavily impacts the level dehumanization of the victims face. While it is important to highlight the extent of barbarity the attackers inflict upon the victim, there is a civil way of relaying this information to the masses and it needs to be addressed. ??We are in the process of developing a brilliant workshop on how to interpret gender-based violence news for Cultures Link and we want to make it accessible for anyone interested in the topic. While we can’t wipe what happened, we can make an effort to ensure it does not repeat through education and interactive discussion. #CulturesLink #Feminism #India

Are we really honoring the contributions of women in all aspects of society? This is true that women have been successful in fighting for equal pay, access to education, and breaking barriers in male-dominated fields. But there is still much work to be done to address issues such as gender-based violence. Old-fashioned ideas about men being better than women, harmful beliefs, and not everyone having the same opportunities all play a part in why women and girls face violence. Raj Shamani's recent podcast on International Women's Day shed light on an often-overlooked aspect of women's lives, their safety. It served as a wake-up call to the harsh reality many women face on a daily basis, be it physical and sexual violence or emotional and psychological abuse. A very distressing episode indeed! Yet, Yogita Bhayana's courageous efforts shine brightly??

India has advanced in almost every field, yet sexual violence which occurs within the four walls of a matrimonial home is considered to be a private, family matter and is excluded from scrutiny by public institutions like the courts. Marital rape is not an offence in India and the criminal justice system has failed to render justice to married women who are victims of sexual violence. Marital rape is a common but under-reported crime. The true prevalence of marital rape in India, as in most countries of the world, is unknown, but various research conducted in India indicate that it is common despite the unwillingness of many officials to acknowledge it. Marital rape or spousal rape is the act of sexual intercourse with one's spouse without the spouse's consent. The lack of consent is the essential element and doesn't always involve physical violence. Marital rape is considered a form of domestic violence and sexual abuse. #rape #maritalrape #spousalrape #sexualviolence #domesticviolence #graphicdesigning #creativedesigninig #contentgraphic

"Why Biased ?? "The Death Penalty for Rape in India: A Gender Biased? In India, the rape of a girl can be punishable by death. However, there seems to be a glaring lack of outrage and advocacy for minor boys and man who are victims of sexual assault and rape. This heinous act can haunt them for their entire lives, from childhood to death. Why the disparity in attention and support?" ??. ??.Thinkin on the topic: ★It's essential to acknowledge that sexual assault and rape affect people of all genders and ages. ★The stigma and shame surrounding male victims can prevent them from speaking out and seeking help. ★We need to work towards creating a society where all survivors feel supported and empowered to share their stories. ★Breaking down gender stereotypes and biases is crucial in addressing the issue of sexual assault and rape. ★Let's strive for a world where everyone can live without fear of violence and discrimination.
