  • Essay / The Importance of Rape - 773

    Culture encompasses the physical and social values ​​that form a way of life and the concepts with which these are communicated and expressed. Culture includes the norms of society and practiced morals, as well as the rituals and traditions that serve as a guide to govern human behavior. Unfortunately for some, these moral values ​​are often lost and consumed by an immorality that resides in the souls of many human beings. In turn, the result is the destruction of the very things that are dear to one's heart and the devaluation of the meaning of life. Humans are the most intellectually and culturally advanced organisms on this planet, but one major aspect that sets this species apart from all others is its remarkable capacity for inhumanity. Rape, a tool of violence committed against individuals of all ages in society and in times of war. , is an act from which victims suffer throughout their lives. The question arises as to which age group is most vulnerable to these offenses; however, it is recognized that age is undoubtedly not a means of protection against rape. Statistically, rape victims are distributed in different age groups: 15% are under 12 years old, 29% are between 12 and 17 years old, 44% are under 18 years old, and 80% are under 30 years old (Get The Facts, 2014). It is astonishing to note that children as young as 6, 5 or even 4 years old and adults over 40 years old are victims of such crimes.

It is regrettable that the majority of victims are women and children, individuals who have no reason to be terrorized in such a cruel way. Two of the worst cases of sexual slavery of women occurred in territories seized by Japanese armed forces, in addition to mass rapes committed by advancing Russian fighters against German women (Barstow, 2014). It is clear that rape is a topic of great concern when we consider the frequency of these reprehensible acts as well as the use of rape as a weapon of war. Through countless acts of rape and sexual violence, it has been proven that no one, regardless of age, is safe from these crimes. However, individuals frequently demonstrate acts of violence and cruelty not only towards other humans, but also towards innocent animals and pets..
