When was the last time you heard about sexual assault?
Have you ever wondered what exactly runs through an assaulters mind?
Most of the times we think that rape is all about sex.. But going into the minds of this rapists or assaulters; from that drop out drunkard who rapes young village girls, or that house help who assaults your son, to that boss who sexually assaults his female workers, they have one thing in common a desire of power and being in control.
Sexual assault has no gender. Male or female we could all fall victims.
But all thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs, 91% of rape victims are women. 60% having been raped in between 16 and above. 40% having been raped as kids by family members or family friends.
Surprisingly women are prone to be victims of rape as they enter adulthood (16-29). Having to live with fear of being raped, or being stigmatized in case of rape (trauma, possible pregnancy or STD, being viewed filthy, being blamed by the society).
Most cases of male rape happens in their childhood years (3-16yrs), the risk decreases with increase in age.
Psychologist says 1 out of five male rape victims carry on the habit of rape, in desire to regain power during those years or days of powerlessness when he was a victim.
So what exactly is the problem?
Who should we blame for a broken system of morality and humanity?
