Summary: A 23 years old girl was raped by six men in a bus. The girl and one of her friends boarded the bus at around 9 o'clock at night. As the bus started moving, the guys went up to the girl and started teasing her. They were so cruel that they inserted an iron rod through her private part. After that, the guys just left her on the road, naked. She was in the hospital for 12 days before dying because her intestines were severely injured.
Analysis: This rape took place in India, but it became an international issue in just few days because everyone in this world know that it can happen to any one of them. This issue involves everyone, from kids to adults to seniors. This 6 guys should be punished severely. They should be punished in front of the whole world and should be set as an example of how bad of a crime rape is. If we don't speak against it, who will?
People all over India are protesting against this. The cops are saying that women at shouldn't roam around without male escorts. They also said that by wearing revealing clothes, they are deterring the would-be rapists. Maybe the cops didn't know that one of her male friend was with her when she was being raped by those guys. What's the point of having a male escort if the result is going to be the same? The author of the article sound sympathetic towards women in India. It is a male dominated country where women have "freedom of movement," but are they actually free? In a country where if you're a woman and you're outside at night, you are "asking" to be raped. That's not what the people are saying, that's what the law is saying. It seems as if it's a crime to be a girl.
The media is focused on this because they found a good topic for people to stick to their channel. I don't think they actually care. They just want their channel to have the highest viewers. The girl is dead, she won't come back. Her family will never see her face or hear her voice. Did she really deserve this? Does anyone deserve this? If we all speak up against it, it will stop one day. It may take some time, but it will eventually stop. We need a place where women can walk around without a male escort and without the fear of being raped. If you think about it, tomorrow, it can happen to your/my sister, daughter, niece, friends, etc. People who were raped and killed will never come back, but at least we should try to stop this from happening to anyone else. That's the least we can do.
