You are right, the executio...Excellent post, Arush. You are right, the execution of four men is not going to completely change the rate of rape in any country. This is only going to change as women are empowered so that they have similar access to education and employment as men. As long as women are seen as weaker and less important, they are going to be subjects of domination, and in some cases, rape. Rape is never about sex but about power and those who rape feel powerless. So what might an even more difficult question to think through is what about the men? Why do the men, even though they live in a society that says that they are stronger, still do things like take advantage of the more vulnerable? What is going on with the men in the country, as well as the women, could help us perhaps take a step in understanding the nature of this horrible crime.Dr. Orth-Veillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14886863323258713833noreply@blogger.com
