A 22-year-old photojournalist has been gang-raped by five men in the Indian city of Mumbai, police say.

The woman, who was on assignment on Thursday evening in the Lower Parel area when she was attacked, is in hospital with multiple injuries.

She was accompanied by a male colleague who was beaten by her attackers. Police have arrested one of the suspects.

In a similar case last December, a 23-year-old student was gang-raped on a bus in the capital, Delhi.

That's absolutely terrible! D: I wish her the best, and that those men will be brought to justice. It saddens me how badly this world has been corrupted, and it seems to be getting even more so by the day.

Women travelling in India should expect this by now. And take some precautions when travelling there. Maybe not even go?

Hey India... here's an idea:

that won't solve anything. rapists have always been punished by death here in Iran and we still get our fair share of them.

My question here is the issue in India that there are way too many astronomically attractive women that men frequently go crazy and force themselves on those women, or is there just so FEW attractive women that when a guy spots a purdy girl he flips out and has to jump that.

Going by the pic in the story I am assuming it is the latter......

I'd like to point out the South Africa portion of Wikipedia's article on "Rape Statistics", India doesn't sound nearly as bad.

Rape capital of the world.foxhound_fox

 

http://www.more.com/news/india-rape-capital-world

 

Every 20 minutes in India, a woman is raped.

And yet India only ranks third for the number of rapes reported each year. What country ranks first?  The United States. In India, a country of over 1.2 billion people, 24,206 rapes were reported in 2011.  The same year in the United States, a nation of 300 million, 83,425 rapes were reported.

 

 

Educate yourselves, please.

That's only for reported rapes though. I'm sure a lot of rapes go unreported in India.

Even though that is true, the number of unreported rapes would have to be insanely staggering to match USA's rape rate. It is exponentially higher given those numbes.

 

So do you have any link to back that up? I brought my information, and until its soundly discredited the USA is factually far worse.

How the hell did you managed to post something even more disturbing than the OP story?

About 40% of annual U.S. rapes go unreported. There seem to be no solid figures for unreported rapes in India, but to have a similar per-capita rate of rape as the U.S., about 97% of Indian rapes would have to go unreported. Of course, given that the Indian definition of rape is much narrower than the U.S. definition, the terribleness of their law enforcement and their much stronger patriarchal culture I would not really be surprised at all if rape was 97% unreported in India or worse. Either way, cross-country comparisons based on reported rape rates are sketch at best.

In the US, women claim rape against their own husbands. Many cases of false accusations. Indian women would not report due to the fact that nobody would want to marry them. In india, women have ultrasound to determine the sex of the child - so they can have an abortion if its a female.

maybe rather than research we can appeal to logic.

 

whats the rape rate in countries with honor stonings and no women's rights whatsoever? Its probably lower. In the places where women routinely get their noses cutoff.

 

Rape statistics are bunk. As the rapier countries, tend not to consider rape a serious crime worth tracking.
