India, Rapist Haven
I want to share my blog post from a year ago. I stopped writing the blog, because I grew weary of it.
http://antagonistvsprotagonist.blogspot.com/2009/05/india-land-of-r...
This is a message to all Indians,
I found http://in.news.yahoo.com/43/20090520/812/tnl-kerala-guru-gets-16-years-jail-term.html
I am not a journalist, actually far from it.My English isn't great, but still I want to spread an important message. So, bear with me.
Rape in India is so common, that Times of India reports "On an average 2 women get raped every hour".I wish things were that simple.The facts are more horrifying, as you are about to see
Only 1 in 70 of the rape cases get reported.And out of those, only 20% of the rapists get convicted.
20,737 cases of rape were reported in 2007 with a 7.2% increase from last year, according to Times of India.
If we assume rape cases to increase by 7.2% for 2008 and another 7.2% 2009,
Total number of reported rape cases this year would be=23830
Since only 1 in 70 cases are reported,
Total number of cases this year would be:23830*70=1668100
No of girls raped per day=1668100/365=4570
No of girls raped per hour=1668100/(365*24)=190
No of girls raped per minute=3
A girl gets raped every 20 seconds.
Assuming, that a rape takes 30 minutes
As I am siting here typing this, 100 girls out there are being raped, sexually molested or even killed.
I found an interesting article here http://www.asiamedia.ucla.edu/article-southasia.asp?parentid=56828
It tell us how media can ensure that you get justice, even if everything else fails.
These lines, from the link I gave you at the beginning of the post, show what I am trying to say here:
___________________________________________________________________
Trouble first surfaced after a Dubai-based woman from Kerala complained that the godman had cheated her after taking money from her. The complaints of rape and sexual exploitation emerged after the media took up the issue and his photographs were splashed all over.
_____________________________________________________________
The next time you are involved in any malicious act, not just rape,don't be afraid to let the world know, through the media. Remember that you have the power to keep yourself anonymous.
Even though the media alone cant cover 1668100 rapes this year, anything is possible with 1 billion people helping them.Remember, that in the 40 minutes I needed to type this, 120 girls were raped.

Thank you for sharing this! The information you've posted is harrowing, but modern social psychology research show that people respond better to stories. Now I know this sounds ridiculous, but if you did what the media wasn't willing to do, if you posted the stories of the 1668100 women sexually assaulted, you would be starting a movement.
I recommend a book called Influencer.

Mm, There is another twist to this. In some cases, girls raped are deemed as "Impure" by her family, who is reluctant to share the story because it brings "Bad family name" to the house.
Also, About half the girls in the country are illiterate.
Thanks for the book, I'll look into it.
