Gang Rape in India

A moving story about a woman now 49 reflects on her gang rape experience in India when she was 17. If you read one article, read this one:

How will a teenager participate in the prosecution of her rapist if her family isn’t behind her? How will a wife charge her assailant if her husband thinks the attack was more of an affront to him than a violation of her?
We have spent generations constructing elaborate systems of patriarchy, caste and social and sexual inequality that allow abuse to flourish. But rape is not inevitable, like the weather.
