Rape and how it affects a woman?
Most henious crime, rape has short and long time effects on the psychology of a woman. Rape is not sex, it is a violent abuse of women’s right to decide who she wants to sleep with. India has noted a high increase in rape cases despite stringent laws and awareness campaigns undertaken by the govt as well as NGOs. Rape destroys a woman psychologically leaving her broken from inside. We need to teach kids about the equality between both the sexes and educate young people to reduce their risk of potentially negative outcomes.
Such cases being reported from Chandigarh is not at all a good thing. They have questioned the status of the city as a safe city. Strict action need to be taken against the culprits.
