sick country or sick world?

"One in four South African men questioned in a survey said they had raped someone, and nearly half of them admitted more than one attack. [...] It said practices such as gang rape were common because they were considered a form of male bonding. [...] Almost half who said they had carried out a rape admitted they had done so more than once. "

One a famous SA politician was told that a woman was a raped in his country every 3 seconds, he stood in the middle of the street, counted three seconds and proceeded to laugh saying that nothing had happened in those seconds.

Maybe he will believe now, as the truth comes out of the perpetrators' mouth.

The saddest thing of all is that, despite the fact that statistics are not the same all over the world, it is also true that it is, together with domestic violence, a common human rights abuse in ALL countries in the world. The fact that the rapist is in 80% of the cases known to the victims makes it even more disgusting.

This is a sick world, and in some parts, the world is very very very sick.
