One Woman Reports A Rape Every 15 Minutes In India by Nobody: 7:47am On Jan 10, 2020
One woman reported a rape every 15 minutes on average in India in 2018, according to government data released on Thursday, underlining its dismal reputation as one of the worst places in the world to be female.

The highly publicised gang rape and murder of a woman in a bus in New Delhi in 2012 brought tens of thousands onto the streets across India and spurred demands for action from film stars and politicians, leading to harsher punishments and new fast-track courts. But the violence has continued unabated.

Women reported almost 34,000 rapes in 2018, barely changed from the year before. Just over 85 percent led to charges, and 27 percent to convictions, according to the annual crime report released by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Women's rights groups say crimes against women are often taken less seriously, and investigated by police lacking in sensitivity.

"The country is still run by men, one (female prime minister) Indira Gandhi is not going to change things. Most judges are still men," said Lalitha Kumaramangalam, former chief of the National Commission for Women.

"There are very few forensic labs in the country, and fast-track courts have very few judges," said Kumaramangalam, a member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The rape of a teenager in 2017 by former BJP state legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar gained national attention when the accuser tried to kill herself the following year, accusing the police of inaction.

Five months before Sengar was convicted last December, the accuser's family had to be provided with security after a truck crashed into the car she was in, injuring her and killing two of her relatives.

A 2015 study by the Centre for Law and Policy Research in Bengaluru found that fast-track courts were indeed quicker, but did not handle a high volume of cases.

And a study in 2016 by Partners for Law in Development in New Delhi found that they still took an average of 8.5 months per case - more than four times the recommended period.

The government statistics understate the number of rapes as it is still considered a taboo to report rape in some parts of India and because rapes that end in murder are counted purely as murders.

This could be pyschological, I mean there are far more women than men in India, why do they rape?
In India, it's women wooing men and ask for their hand in marriage, the woman pays the Groom price.
It's really strange how rape is now a norm over there.

Why should anyone rape?

The moral decadence us almost at its ebb. There are a whole lot of loose girls roaming the streets waiting for who will just say "hi" in order for them to spread their legs.

Remember me reading this many moons back

https://africacheck.org/reports/why-it-is-wrong-to-call-s-africa-or-any-country-the-rape-capital-of-the-world/


In 2000, for instance, a report on the US current affairs television show, 60 Minutes, stated that “[a]ccording to Interpol statistics [South Africa] is the rape capital of the world.” The same year the Christian Science Monitor referred – a little more cautiously – to the country as the “reputed rape capital of the world”.

Five years later, a South African Press Association article carried on the News24 website stated the claim as fact, but did not attribute it to a source.

In 2013, a Reuters news agency story described South Africa as “a country long known as the ‘rape capital of the world’”.

A quick Google search of the phrase picks up articles published by the Mail and Guardian, MSN, Al Jazeera, The Washington Post, Eye Witness News, Sky News, the Sowetan and the Open Society Initiative for South Africa, among numerous others.

In most instances, no evidence or data is provided to back up the claim. Many articles simply repeat claims made in other media.



In 2013 the United Nations News centre reported that “UN agencies estimate that at least 200,000 women have been raped in the [DR Congo] since 1998, and eastern DRC has been described by one former senior UN official as the ‘rape capital of the world’”. Africa Check was unable to immediately establish how the UN agencies arrived at the estimate.


An earlier CNN report purported to explain why the eastern DRC is the rape capital of the world. And both Al Jazeera and The Guardian have published articles containing the claim.
