Thread Name: BS: Indian Rape Victim Dies
Subject: RE: BS: Indian Rape Victim Dies
All so true alanabit. This needs to go right down to the cultural roots of subjugation of women. Forced marriages, domestic violence, 'honour' killings etc must all be addressed at the same time. Education can play a part in changing attitudes. But Tradition is a hard rock to crack. I too have felt I'd like to kill a rapist or paedophile (and I've seen many of these sitting in the Visits Room in a segregated area while Prison Visiting. They were always called The Beasts. Even their visitors were spat on in the car park afterwards) But as you say, that won't achieve radical change. I still find the psychology of group rape very interesting and impossible to understand.
