TRIBAL ELDERS ORDER THE HORRIFIC RAPE IN PUBLIC BY UP TO 12 MEN OF 20 YEAR OLD FEMALE FOR"UNAUTHORISED" RELATIONSHIP, POLICE SAY. The horrific rape took place in Burbham district around 120miles from Kolkata, West Bengal and was punishment for her having an affair with a man from a different village and caste and then her subsequent failure to pay a fine of 50,000 rupee (£490) local media reported.
“According to the woman, the [village head] summoned her and her [lover] on Monday and detained them through the day and night. After her family said they could not pay the fine, the [head] allegedly ordered the mass rape on Tuesday,” police superintendant C Sudhakar told The Hindustan Times newspaper. The women ,who is now recovering in hospital, said she had lost count of the number of attackers, Eleven men, a number of which were her neighbours, have been arrested in connection to the rape, including the village head. Gang rape in india seems to becoming ever more prevalent , only last week a 51-year-old tourist in Delhi was raped by at least five men on her way home on foot from a popular Delhi national museum and shopping center. The women who is now home in Denmark was also robbed and beaten in the attack. Delhi police confirmed that a robbery and rape case had been registered. "We are questioning a group of men," said Rajan Bhagat, a police spokesman. Every week India's media describe attacks on women across the country, often involving several men and frequently resulting in the death of the victim. On Wednesday, newspapers reported the gang-rape of a teenager in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Last week a 13-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped, tortured and killed in Uttarakhand's Haridwar district. In southern Andhra Pradesh, nine men arrested earlier this month reportedly told police they had raped 59 women in the past two years. The United Nations asked India, the world's second most populous country, to ensure security for women. But although prison terms for rape have been stiffened, stalking made a criminal offence and gender sensitivity programmes introduced for some police officers, little appears to have changed on the ground.

The study covering six countries – Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Sri Lanka – found that 10% of men admitted to raping at least once a woman who was not their partner, a figure that rose to nearly 25% when rape of a partner was included. This next statistic realy rocked me to the core and i could hardly believe it. 75% yes 75% said they did it because they were sexually entitled to do it, more than half did for entertainment.
The UN-led study on men and violence collected data from more than 10,000 men and 3,000 women aged 18-49 between 2010 and 2013 in order to understand why men commit violence against women and what can be done to prevent it.
The findings are significant because the Asia-Pacific region is home to over half of the world's population, making the amount and range of information collected "unprecedented and ground-breaking", said Dr Emma Fulu of Partners for Prevention, the joint-UN programme that co-ordinated the study.( the guardian )

The men questiond where asked if they had ever had sex with a women who was so drunk or drugged that they had no idea if they had consented or not and the questions avoided terms like " rape " or " violence " presumedley to get truthful responses to the questions asked. Participants were asked to answer the more sensitive questions on a hand-held device that recorded their responses anonymously. Nearly half of the respondents who said they had committed rape, perpetrated the crime on different women.
They were asked how many different women they had raped:
- 55.4% said they have raped 1 woman
- 28.3% said they have raped 2-3 women
- 12% said they have raped 4-10 women
- 4.2% said they have raped 10 or more women What is the answer to the problem? Many think that more police prosecutions would help to deter perpetrators of rape or that more education in families to stop violence to children who go on to rape with violence but surely this can not be allowed to carry on , Any suggestions ! Please use the comments box and dont forget the "reactions" box. Many thanks for reading this article. Regards A+A.
