INDIA The video shows a middle-aged man approaching a woman similar in age who is bathing in the river. The man pushes the woman to the muddied ground as she tries to fend him off. He overpowers her, pulls out his penis, and plugs it into her vagina even as she continues to resist the inevitable.
In India, more than 80 women are raped every day on average, according to official statistics. This alarming number highlights the severity of the issue, which is tied to deeply ingrained gender inequality and patriarchal norms. Despite stricter laws, many cases of sexual violence go unreported due to the stigma attached to victims and a lack of trust in the legal system. Addressing this problem requires not only stronger law enforcement but also societal changes to ensure that women can feel safe and protected.
