If You Think About Rape I Will Cut Down Your Head
If You Think About Rape I Will Cut Down Your Head CHINA China is one of the strictest countries when it comes to rape punishments. The punishment is death sentence. Sometimes, rapists are punished by mutilation of their genitals, and eventually, death. The problem, however, is that victims of rape often remain silent in China. The reason is simple, traditional culture holds “being raped a shameful act”. Suffice to say, rape is still a taboo topic in Chinese culture with victims being rejected by the society. The laws against rape have been criticized. There are weaknesses in the legal system that allow rapist to escape justice. For example, same sex rape became illegal in 2015. Before that, same sex rape was legal. In 2015, China made another step towards better rape justice. Sex with under aged women (women under 14 years) was reclassified as rape. No matter whether underage women were prostitutes or not, it was still a rape, punishable by death sentence. IRAN
