Shocked that no one helped the girl on the train

14 year old SA in trained

I am being unreasonable in think people need to stop being so absorbed on their phones whilst out in public. It seems no one helpped this child whilst she was being raped because they were too busy on their phones.

Won't save us from the local rapists but at least we aren't bringing anymore in.

What will stop it?

You're not offering any solutions!

Yes, the problem isn't Afghan PEOPLE per se. It's Afghan MEN. Men are not the only people. Women would not be assaulting teen boys if they came over here...

I would like to help women. I also think it's worth noting a lot of the more secular and educated Afghans will have fled in prior years : the men coming now are likely to be the ones with more misogynistic attitudes. I suspect also criminals are overrepresented (rather than just being the 'average rural man') as they want to escape justice in their own country.

After being sexually assaulted as a child, I am one of those people who would ring the transport police if I felt something was not right. But sorry I think you are being a bit harsh. It’s normal for people to be reading a book / be on their phones during travel. The horrific sitting on the knee start of everything - for someone to notice they would have had to be in the proximity and be watching it unfold, have their spidery senses triggered and then be watching for body language of the girl to check she was not ok with it.
I have a lot of autism in my family including myself having traits - unfortunately due to social confusion our facial expressions and body language might not be obvious enough to passerbys that we are in distress.
What happened to this poor girl is horrific and changes need to be made but I don’t think you can assume the general public were aware and ignored it.
I think it might be helpful for the transport systems to better promote how people can ask other passengers for help to ask them to call the transport police and what other passengers can do if they sense another passenger needs help - and it’s socially acceptable to double check with a stranger they are ok.

Im offering at least something that means we don't have excessive sex attacks by foreigners

And what is that?

Islam allows polygamy for one.

But my opinion is that Islam isn't uniquely bad for women. The problems are 1. It has not undergone a liberalisation process like Christianity and Judaism have, at least not in most places. 2. A lot of Muslim societies are poor and tribal. The problems in Afghanistan and places like Mirpur where the Pakistani grooming gangs came from are primarily caused by tribal/clan-based attitudes which harm women wherever they are.

Islam varies a lot. For cultural & historical reasons, SE Asian, Eastern European and Omani forms tend to be more coexisting and peaceful.

If people noticed , and especially staff, but ignored, I would judge. But a lot of ordinary commuters are busy etc and may simply not have noticed.
