TW: trying to be sensitive - but Why is there such a rape problem in India?

I really, really do not want to upset anyone with this thread or make it into some hideous racist thing, but there clearly is an issue! Obviously most people in India are horrified and protesting.

I really want to understand why there is such a big issue there. The more recent news and the story of the student doctor on the bus years ago - absolutely floored me. I know rape happens everywhere but there stories have been so extreme. I also remember the story of that little girl in public years ago and those women who were raped when going to the toilet outside. It’s always so horrific, violent and involves gang rape? Why is this happening?

I mean, this is the introduction to an investigation, not the results and conclusion

I have no agenda, I was surprised myself that the statistics are as they are. it isn't just the UK which has a higher rate of rape compared with India.

I'm interested. I would be interested to see actual research/stats on this. rather than people shouting me down

but you just aren't convincing anyone that 'india has a problem with rape' moreso than many other countries, with anything that has been posted.

it seems though that isn't important in this conversation, so I will bow out for good this time

wtf you aren’t convinced India has a problem with rape? 😳 you’re not making any sense here. You’ve been provided with lots of proof. Seems like you do have some weird agenda after all.

stats -india just isn't near the top

(I don't know why I find myself in this weird position of apparently underplaying rape in India. will welcome statistics etc that show otherwise)

Are the Indian figures over 10 years out of date or have I misread that?
