Rape culture and how women are fighting back

#Rapeculture and how women are fighting back It must be said that the rate of rape cases around the world is unacceptable and it is even more disturbing that instead of fighting the perpetrators of this insane act, some societies actually put the blame on the victim, in most cases, the woman. This is not to say that there are no cases of men rape, the cases of women getting raped are only more pronounced and the effect is even worse compared to the other way round.

From gang rape to individual rape cases, many of these situations have led to the victim not being able to get her life back with a good number of the cases swept under the carpet for one reason or the other. This is disturbing and the fact that the evil doers go unpunished makes the victims and their families even more depressed.

Different measures have been taken to stop the spread of the rape culture and while some women have decided to take the path of physical self-defense by taking martial arts training and other such classes that could help them in fighting off predators when they make their attempt, others have taken to the internet and even music to pass their message to the world.

The message is quite simple and it is that the rape culture that has since seen a dramatic increase should be kicked against and prevented as much as possible.

The gang rape case in India and other such cases especially from that region of the world have raised eyebrows from the international world. These cases have led to the death of the victims due to injuries sustained during the act and some other girls and ladies that have been unfortunate to be victims have taken the path of suicide to take their own lives.

Online activism have been used in this respect to preach against the rape culture especially thanks to the different social media platforms that make it easy to pass on the message. On Nterestin.com, hashtags like #Rapeculture and #Carrytheweight, are given a LIVE group video conversation where people can chat and discuss with strangers and friends these important topics. The power of social media has been an amazing way for people’s stories to be seen and heard.

But some people have actually described these protests as an act of feminism and sexism stating the emphasis on female rape cases. The fact that women have been the major victims in rape cases cannot be overemphasized and it only makes sense to help spread the word about female rape cases and the need to fight against it.
