Let's Stop Rape campaign. Day 3

Hello friend. Thanks for your participation. Today, we will look at people who cn be victims of rape. Read, like, comment, share and tweet. Let people be aware of this menace and stop it. Yes we can!!!


Day 3
Who can be a victim?

A victim in this case is anyone who has been raped or sexully mollested. This means the person has been unlawfully touched without consent. Whether the law passes a judgement or not, the deed is already done. Since the law does not protect from being a victim, it makes a lot of sense to identify people who can be victims and responsibly seek ways to avoid and protect such people.

So the question to be answered is WHO CAN BE A VICTIM?

The unfortunate answer is ANYBODY.
Anybody can be a victim. Nobody is full proof from rape or sexual molestation. The regular attraction for sex have been defied at different times which is based on the several reports in the media.
Toddlers, children, teenagers, youthful/adults, elderly.. have all been reported in rape or sexual molestation cases in the media in the past five years.
Check the list below..

These are just a few headlines. You can do a search and you will be amazed at the victims you will find.

Bringing it closer is to say your baby; your children, neice or nephew; your teenagers in school; your friend, mum, aunt, wife and even grandma can all be a victim. If you are a woman reading this, then you also can(no need to cast and bind, I don't pry it happens).

No one is full proof.

The essence of this information is not to get you to live in fear but to create an awareness for the menace and make you more sensitive and alert so that you do not drop all your guards.

Your part in all these is beyond the "Let's Stop Rape" campign period. It must be continuous.
Tomorrow, We will look at "Who can be a suspect?"

Thank you.
