Day 4

Who can be a suspect?
A Rape suspect is the person(s) who perpetuated the act of rape but have not been found guilty accordingto the law. This suspect would have committed the crime already by forcefully having a sexual intercourse. It means whether the court eventually declares guilty or not, the deed is done. A vast majority of rape cases are not reported while those reported do not get quick judgment or do not get at all. It makes it important that  everyone must be able to identify a potential suspect before the strike.

So the question to ask is - Who can be a suspect?

Who are you supposed to be mindfull of. Who can perpetuate the act of rape?
The truth is, following reports we have from the past ANYBODY can be a suspect.

Beginning from Faceless crook to distant relative to house/domestic help, friend, sibling, parent, clerics, teacher etc

There are many more.

This implies two thing of many things.
- Nobody should be given a blind trust.
- You have the responsibility to protect against rape (either yourself, your ward and the possible perpetrator- do not help them).

There is a tendency to start being paranoid over this issue by suspecting everyone you see but you do not have to. You only need to have the right information to protect against rape and be aware. The first person to trust is the possible victim who must be enlightened within their scope of understanding.

Do not let down all your guards. Anybody can fail.

Thank you.
