Rohtak rape and murder case

The morning newspaper comes across as a slap on the face of humanity.
"Mentally challenged woman brutally raped and murdered in Rohtak."

What is happening to this country? By statistics everyday 92 women are raped and God knows how many cases go unreported. More than 31000 cases are still awaiting their justice.From little girls to old women, no one is spared. The increase in the brutality of rapes show how low humans can stoop down to.

Not long ago a video of 5 boys raping a minor girl was being circulated. Their faces devoid of any guilt or remorse, moreover they were smiling and laughing listening to the pledge of the girl.

The word rape is an understatement for the torture women are being subjected to through out rapes. Rape is no more just forceful sex. Be it the Nirbhaya case where the victim was beaten up, rods pushed down her privates, her uterus pulled out or the victim from Rohtak whose privates were stuffed with condoms, sticks and stones or the little 5 year old girl in Delhi whose privates were burnt with cigarettes.

These rapist are not human, they are inhuman murderers and deserve nothing less than capital punishment. Many of them hide under the shade of Juvenile Act. How can you deem someone juvenile who is mature enough to take a decision of raping someone?

When a girl is raped, the politicians blame the girl, the society abandons her, questions regarding her clothes, the time and the people she was out with are raised. What they forget is that:
A rapist rapes irrespective of age, background, caste, color, creed, clothes, mental status, social status, time at which the woman is out.

Women are safe no where. They are not even safe even before they mature as women. There have been cases where girls are raped in schools by teachers, by relatives in their homes, in broad daylight, on roads, in their work place, in cars , in buses, in refugee camps, in shelter homes, in orphanages and worse in police stations where they go to report a crime.

Ask a mother how she feels when her daughter leaves for work or college and gets a little late in coming back. She is filled with uncertainty if her daughter will return or not. That is the level of confidence that we have in law and order.

Is this how we are supposed to live in our nation? Scared and afraid? How can you even claim for a better tomorrow, when the woman of your house has to think twice before going out?
How can you make India progressive when a major part of the work force that are women would be unwilling to work during night shifts?

What culture are we trying to protect, where even cases of teachers raping their students and relatives raping their own blood are taking place?

I am a woman!
More than being proud, I am afraid!!
