India Gang-Rape Victim Fights For Her Life

I think going to prison for decades with a high chance to get raped themselves is a much better punishment.

 

Yeah I imagine when the inmates find out what they are in for, they would likely be the belle of the ball and marked targets.

Hope India doesn't have any form of protective custody in prison, unleash them to the wolves and come what may.

 

What an awful story. I cannot begin to imagine what kind of hell this poor, young lady endured. May she rest in peace, now that her horrific tragedy is over for her. I pray for some level of justice is honored to this woman and her loved ones, and that no sympathy is given to these monsters that killed her.

 

Why should the guys live for 30 years? No matter how horrible one's life is, i think living is a gift so these animals should be sentenced to death but the execution should be delayed for 1 year so they are continually raped before they are executed.

 

I agree. Breathing is too good a punishment for them. They clearly have no conscience so letting them live so they're constantly reminded of what they did, is not an option, IMO.

Whatever happens though, I hope that in the end, they get theirs.

And maybe things will start changing for the better in India.

 

LMAO at your avi

 

I know, right? Damn, Max Mosley!!

 

I loved your choice of fairy wand holding pussy

 

Thanks! I told him that if I won again, he was going to have to use that one again and post. I think most people missed it. LOL.

 

I saw the Hello Kitty, didn't know it was because he lost a bet or something.

 

It appears that this atrocity is finally waking India up to some of the horrors of traditional patriarchy and a worldview that treats women as the property of men.

 

Maybe some good will come out of this tragedy then.

 

I hope so too, Bookie. I'm glad her father is expressing condemnation of the perpetrators, rather than the customary "my daughter and family honor have been sullied" attitude that is standard, which places blame for the act on the victim. And the Pakistani young woman who stood up for women's education and her dad are also heroes in this regard.

 

An update on the story. What's unsettling is if they don't get legal representation, any conviction they receive will be thrown out. I hope someone steps up to represent these scumbags so they can have the book thrown at them and it won't get overturned.

India to boost women taxi drivers, spurred by Uber rape claim


(Reuters) - The alleged rape of a woman passenger by an Uber taxi driver once again spotlights the risks of India's transport system, which fails to keep women safe. One solution: Taxis driven by women for women.





Last year, the southern state of Kerala launched 'She Taxis', a fleet of 40 pink taxis run by women, and fitted with wireless tracking gear and panic buttons linked to call centers.

Now the service has become a model for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government to replicate nationwide, its chief executive says. "The Delhi incident shows the need for 'She Taxis' all over the country," P.T.M. Sunish told Reuters.

'She Taxis' has ferried 24,000 people on about 10,000 trips since Nov. 2013. Demand so far exceeds supply that as many as half of callers have to be turned away, Sunish said.

"I feel secure and the family is satisfied," said Aswathy Sreekumar, 25, a technology worker who has used the service for seven months, after finishing work at midnight.

"Otherwise, I keep getting calls from my parents."

Rising sex crimes have prompted Indian states and small firms to launch taxi services run by women. The trend grew after Dec. 2012 protests over the rape of a young woman on a moving bus in the capital, New Delhi, and her subsequent death.

Tougher laws and promises of better policing have proved ineffectual. India's public transport is the fourth most dangerous in the world for women, and nighttime safety ranks second worst, a recent poll showed.

Women commuters face sexual harassment and public transport is seen as risky.

"The Uber incident reinforces that you are safer when a taxi is driven by a woman. People would be keener now," said social activist Susieben Shah, who started Priyadarshini Taxi Service in 2010 in Mumbai. Now it aims to expand to New Delhi and the southern tech hub of Bengaluru.

Another company, Sakha Cabs, with 14 taxis in the capital, plans to expand in nearby western Jaipur and in eastern Kolkata.

Still, expansion is slow. Reluctant investors fear the tiny number of women drivers will brake future expansion, and India's male-dominated social structure will deter aspirant drivers.

After the Uber incident India is stepping up support for such training, an official of the Ministry of Women & Child Development told Reuters.

But critics say better security is the answer.

"Government always resorts to knee-jerk reactions," said Ranjana Kumari, director of the Center for Social Research. "Failure in law and order implementation cannot be compensated by such measures."

Any word on if the government's proclaimed efforts at getting tough on rape are bearing any fruit? I guess it's at least a positive that the government has been forced to pay attention to the issue.

 

thats terrible

 

Yeah, the socialization of rape as acceptable is insane. I'm glad it's finally getting some attention. The culture of daughters as family property is also problematic too. It feeds the whole shame and honor culture that treats a raped woman as "sullied" or without virtue. Life is really difficult for them afterward, even if the culprit is caught, facing shunning, difficulty in marrying, etc.

 

Why are some Indian men have no self control? The law and culture has let those females down.

 

Why? Because women there are often considered Chattel.
