These cases get highlighted because they are murdered.
India lodged average 86 rapes daily, 49 offences against women per hour in 2021: NCRB data.
And these are just registered ones. An estimated 60-70% rapes are not reported, due to shame and marriage of the women.
I pulled up a report of US Dept of Justice which said - According to survey estimates, 111,298 rapes were committed against men in the previous 12 months.
What about the rapes reported for men in India? Couldn't find even one report/article which talks about it.
Women reporting such crimes receive a lot of backlash.
Imagine stuff men who face this, go through. Men raping men is often made fun of, or called names.
Women raping men (that is a thing I came to know recently), they are asked to "enjoy". What?!
Sexual contact without consent is rape. Irrespective of age, gender, intention, marital status.
And should be punished equally.
