RAPE An Epidemic. INDIA VS THE WORLD

India! One of the fastest-growing country in the world! An  Upcoming superpower, A fast-growing economy and a country who is now playing the role of leader on this globe!

But apart from that, keeping money and business aside it is a proud culturally rich and proud secular state. This country is full of religions and beliefs and one of the biggest religions in this county is HINDUISM or SANTAN DHARMA. There are many beliefs in Hinduism but one of the most important belief is GOD and for a surprise, more than 50% of Hindus are female, which mean goddess.

So you can say that  India is a country who worships women for everything like money, literacy, courage, etc. That means women are the most respected part of Indian society! Is that so? Because the current situation is showing something different! For example, The proud state Bengal who worships goddess Durga is also a home of Asia's largest brothel SONAGACHI.

JUNKO FURUTA rape case!

Furuta, a few days after turning 17, was kidnapped by four young adults on November 12, 1988, who then kept her captive in a house owned by one of the culprits, in Adachi, Tokyo.

The four men, post-rape, tortured Furuta for the following 44 days until she succumbed to death. According to the statements of her assailants at their trials, Furuta was raped over 400 times, beaten, penetrated with foreign objects including an iron rod and light-bulb, made to her drink her own urine, fed with cockroaches, and burned with cigarette ends. The assailants had also inserted fireworks into her genitals and set them off and cut her nipple out with pliers.

On the 44th day, Furuta was doused with lighter fluid and set alight, the final torture that claimed her life.

The second case is from Ukraine 

Oksana Makar was a few months away from her 19th birthday when she was gang-raped by three men in Mykolaiv, Ukraine in March 2012.  However, Makar's agony did not end there. Her assailants attempted to strangle her after the rape and later moved her to a deserted construction site, where she was set on fire alive. Makar, after burning for hours, was discovered the next morning, still breathing. Two weeks later, she succumbed to her injuries from the burn and smoke inhalation. As per reports, since unmarried, she was buried in a wedding dress.

PUNISHMENT FOR RAPE IN INDIA AND IN WORLD
Except in certain aggravated situations, the punishment will be imprisonment not less than seven years but which may extend to imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine. The revised statutes of 2013 Indian law, in section 376A also increased the age of consent from 16 years to 18 years, and any sexual activity with anyone less than the age of 18, irrespective of consent, now constitutes statutory rape. In April this year, It allows capital punishment for anyone convicted of raping children under the age of 12.
