The Ugly Truth About RAPIST
The Ugly Reality of RAPIST
The unequal power distribution between men and women is at the root of rape. In most things, the unequal distribution of power has deep roots in customs, traditional culture, contemporary culture, history, the law of the land, schooling, and social role models.
Rape is defined as unlawful sexual activity, most commonly involving sexual intercourse, committed against the victim's will through force or the threat of force, or with an individual who is incapable of giving legal consent due to minor status, mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception. Rape has been subsumed under the crime of sexual assault in many jurisdictions. Rape was once thought to be the result of unbridled sexual desire, but it is now recognized as a pathological assertion of power over a victim.
The difficulty in obtaining accurate rape
statistics
Here are the 10 countries with the highest
rape rates:
Botswana - 92.93
Lesotho - 82.68
South Africa - 72.10
Bermuda - 67.29
Sweden - 63.54
Suriname - 45.21
Costa Rica - 36.70
Nicaragua - 31.60
Grenada - 30.63
Saint Kitts and Nevis - 28.62
Rape statistics are notoriously difficult to obtain.
The most significant complication is that most
victims of sexual violence choose not to report it.
There are numerous reasons for this decision,
including embarrassment, victim shaming, fear of
retaliation
from the rapist, and even fear of
how
the victim's own family will react.
Furthermore, many countries' anti-sexual assault laws
are insufficient, inconsistent, or not
consistently enforced. This can lead to the victim
believing that involving law enforcement will
be pointless and, in some cases, will make matters
worse rather than better.
Whatever the reason for a victim's silence, the result
is that rape is vastly underreported in many
countries. It is estimated that approximately
35% of women worldwide have experienced sexual
harassment in their lifetime. However, in most
countries with data on rape
(including the United States),
fewer than 40% of those women seek help, and
fewer than 10% seek assistance from law
enforcement. As a result, most rapists go unpunished.
In the United States, for example, only about
9% of rapists are prosecuted, and only about 3% are
imprisoned. Rapists are free in 97% of cases.
What Causes Rape?
During a Youth and Truth discussion, a student asks
Sadhguru about the origins of rape.
Sadhguru
discusses the generational and cultural shifts that
have deprived youth of solutions that would
normally satisfy physical and emotional needs.
Instead of concentrating on punishment,
Sadhguru believes that we should debate and
address the issue of sexual violence.
Q: Sir, we portray our India as a woman and refer
to her as "Mother India." Even though,
we see many rape cases, including those in which a
man rapes his own mother, daughter,
or sister. What drives a man to commit such an
inhuman act in the name of pleasure?
Satguru: We call it "Mother Earth." Does this mean that
all crime on the planet will completely
stop? No. There are various types of crime.
Sexual assault on women is common. There are
several aspects to this. We can become angry and
say, "OK, hang them." If you bring hanging
as a punishment for rape, you must understand that
the victim is almost always the only witness
in a rape case. What do you think a rapist will do if
you promise him that if he rapes and is caught,
he will hang?
Reasons why India has an increase in sexual violence cases:
![]() |
Less number of female policeOne of the reasons for India's sexual violence
problem may be a lack of female police
officers.
When a woman is raped, she is more likely to
report the crime to a female police officer.
According to data from 2022,
India has only 10% to 15%, of female police officers.
Inappropriate clothing is being blamedIndian society believes that the victim's sense of
clothing is to blame for their situation.
This was demonstrated in an Indian judge survey,
where 60% to 70% of respondents agreed on
the same point. It's harsh, but it's true.
Domestic violence acceptance
Domestic violence is viewed as deserving in
Indian society. According to one of UNICEF's
reports, 57% of Indian boys and 53% of Indian
girls believe that beating a wife is justified.
Women are being judged-
Women who drink, smoke, or go late-night clubbing
are considered immoral and the same
judgment is not for men. In most Indian societies
and is the cause of rape. If the general public
believes and accepts this reasoning behind rape,
then women in India are definitely not safe in
public places.
What is the underlying cause of rape culture?
The "domination and objectification of
women," according to some, is the root cause of
rape culture.
Academic theory, on the other hand, holds that
rape culture does not always have a single cause,
and that causes can be localized based on other
social aspects of culture.
The reasons for rape for these men are feelings of
rejection, actual rejection, emotional insecurity
and immaturity, childhood brutality, and an unloving
or emotionally sterile home environment.
Is the rise in 'rape culture' due to pornography?
Access to pornography is a contributing factor
to the problem.
It's a complicated issue with no simple solution.
Some experts warn against making connections,
while others claim porn weakens the theory of
permission.
While access to online porn is increasing,
experts say it's unclear whether sexual harassment,
abuse, and assault among young people is
increasing as well, as might be expected from a
simple link.
Myths vs facts
There are numerous myths about rape, sexual assault,
sexual abuse, and other types of serious
sexual violence.
In our society, myths about rape, sexual assault,
sexual abuse, and other forms of sexual violence
wield considerable power.
This is dangerous because these myths cause
serious harm. They can make victims and survivors
feel ashamed or blame themselves for what
happened, making it difficult for them to discuss or seek
help.
These myths can also influence how victims and
survivors are treated by services and organizations
that are supposed to help them, as well as by their
own families and friends.
MYTH:
Women who drink or use drugs deserve to be raped.
Fact:
Regardless of the circumstances, no one is ever to blame for being raped or sexually assaulted.
Raping or sexually assaulting someone is always a crime, and the perpetrator or perpetrators bear full blame, shame, and responsibility for the crime.
MYTH:
Women lie about being raped for attention or revenge, or because they regret having sex with someone.
FACT:
False rape allegations are extremely rare. In fact, most victims of rape or other forms of sexual violence never report it to the authorities.
MYTH:
It wasn't raped if she didn't scream, run away, or fight back.
Fact:
It is very common for victims of rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse, or other forms of sexual violence to
be unable to move or speak. This is one of our bodies' automatic reactions to fear, and it is intended to keep us safe.
It's also one of the reasons why many people
don't have visible injuries after being raped or subjected
to other
forms of sexual violence.
Facts About Sexual Assault
Fact:
Sexual assault can and has occurred against men,
women, and children of all ages, races, religions, and
socioeconomic backgrounds. Sexual assault occurs
in rural, small-town, and urban areas. By the age of eighteen,
it is estimated that one in every three girls and one
in every six boys will have been sexually assaulted.
Fact:
Sexual assault is NEVER the victim's fault. Sexual assault
is a violent attack on an individual, not a
spontaneous act of sexual desire. It is a humiliating and
degrading act for a victim. No one "asks" for or
deserves this type of attack.
Fact:
The majority of sexual assaults are carried out by
someone the victim knows. According to studies,
approximately 80%-90% of women reporting
sexual assaults knew their attacker.
Fact:
Sexual assault can occur at any time and in
any place. The majority of assaults take place in places
that are normally considered safe, such as homes, cars,
and offices.
Fact:
Hostility, power, and control drive sexual assault.
Sexual violence is not motivated by sexual desire.
Humans, unlike animals, have the ability to control
how they act on or express sexual desires.
The Only Way to Prevent Rape Is Through
Human Transformation!
Sadhguru speaks at length about the issue of rape –
why it happens and what are the most effective
means of preventing such acts in society.
The brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old woman in
New Delhi in December 2012 sparked national outrage
and protests. The horrific nature of the assault left
the victim with serious injuries, to which she eventually
succumbed. Following this incident, the culprits
were sentenced to death by the courts.
Although this solution appears to be justified, is
law enforcement a long-term solution to a problem that
appears to be deeply rooted in today's society?
Sadhguru says, "No." According to him, "statistics show that
96% of rapes occur within the four walls of the home."
This is never investigated by law enforcement. This is
beyond the reach of the law." He believes the problem
stems from "investing too much in the physicality of life."
Why Rape?
Though there may be a sexual stimulus to rape, it is
not solely about sexuality. It is about having power.
This desire to possess stems from a variety of factors.
A fundamental mistake that societies have made is
instilling in the minds of the youth, particularly
the male youth, the notion that a female is an object
that can be possessed.
Either someone's father can give her away, or you
can take her if he refuses. Isn't it still present?
There is an idea in the background, somewhere very
deep in the psychological structure, that a
woman is a commodity.
A commodity is something that doesn't have its own
mind. As a result, this is consciously implanted
in some places and unconsciously implanted in
many others. However, it is deeply embedded in
people's minds.
Will Punishment Really Work?
Punishment cannot be used to deal with the vast
majority of the population. If 10%, 15%, or 20%
of a society's population commits a crime, you
cannot punish 20% of the population. If it is 1%, you
can punish them and deal with the consequences.
Do you want to execute 20% of the population?
That will be worse than rape.
People believe that punishment serves as a deterrent.
Perhaps to some extent. For the vast majority
of people, it is not. They will simply try to be more
careful. They'll try to be more cautious about it.
Maybe it will go down because they have to take
more precautions. However, when it occurs in one's
mind, it implies that when the opportunity arises,
it will occur in reality.
The Solution
Humanity has a lot of looking to do. One particular rape
case has pushed the nation's sense of
morality to breaking point. Using this, it's time to consider
the necessities of life.
The fundamental goal is to possess, humiliate, and
subjugate another human being.
This is due to a sense of inadequacy, of incompleteness
within, which can only be alleviated
by possessing something.
It makes no difference whether you go shopping or
raping to fulfill this desire. Something is
lacking, and you want to compensate by acquiring
something. This will yield a plethora of
hideous expressions. It will not be satisfied with
just one thing.
So the solution is not simply to contain it; the solution
is to transform the individual human being.
If the world is to change, the first step is to be willing
to invest time in your own transformation.
It is the most important thing to do. If we do not
transform individuals, we will be left with a world
full of criminals.
Is there a difference between a
closet rapist and a street rapist?
Transformation means that you are not defined by
the opinions or presence of others.
Every parent must invest in their children in
order to transform them into more inclusive
human beings.
Inclusion simply means that your identity is not limited to
the boundaries of your physicality.
So, the only ultimate solution is to invest in a
spiritual possibility, a possibility beyond one's physicality.
This is the long-term solution if you want
long-term benefits.
