Rape
is social evil that has reached explosive proportion. It has ruined many lives
and continues to do so at a frenetic pace. No one is immune, and age is no bar.
From infants to citizens to corpses, rape has become a diabolic symbol of power
in an iniquitous world.

In
U S A, a rape occurs every two minutes, in Indian every fifty-four [54]
minutes, and in Pakistan every three hours. The tragedy is that 80 are
perpetrated by fathers, brothers, relatives of friends. Sex out of ten occurs
in the home or in the home of the relatives or friends.
The
story of an Austrian father, who raped his daughter for 24 years and sired
seven children through her, is still fresh in our minds. Though rape occurs in
all social status, he may be well educated, well groomed and has a high
standing in society such as a judge, government official, policeman or priest.
Even doctors have been known to rape patients in their clinics. The rapist may
be of any age from an old man to young teenager. The increasing trend of raping
minors by force or through allurements is frightening. Children of 14 years or
lower have been known to rape their classmates, and kill them out of fear of being
caught.

Lust in men who
have not disciplined their impulses: Testosterone make libido
flare out of control.

Economic causes: In some
communities the bride price maybe too high, poverty, low socio economic status,
unemployment, lack of skills, make men vent their frustration through rape.

In Communities: With strict codes
of behaviour where no mingling of sexes is allowed, repressed male give
expression to their masculinity through rape. Anti social and borderline
personalities behave irresponsibly. This is enhanced by drugs and alcoholic.

Men with poor self
worth:
are convinced that no woman would voluntary sleep with them. They are aroused
by sexual fantasies and express themselves through rape. Revenge when men are
rejected or ignored, they feel insulted enough to use rape as a form of revenge.

Growing feminism: Women are
breaking down every male bastion. They are becoming economically independent
and upwardly mobile. Male bashing is occurring like never before. Assisted
reproductive technology and genetic engineering make some men feel purposeless
and dis-empowered as a result they resort rape. Rape
is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which men
keep all women in a state of fear.
