Rape is now a culture meaning it has taken on a form. On radio, television and social media we see protest against rape, yes! it is a well appreciated contribution but we must also sing more on the solution than the problem.
This malady should be approached holistically! Every element in a rape case must be addressed. A lot of talk about what the victims should and shouldn't have done to get justice. We can see that victims suffer further attacks from just speaking up.
These are the following elements on this matter: the Rapist, the Victims and the STIGMATIZERS. These group of people who make the journey to Justice and healing tedious are the Stigmatizer. We must also see them as Silent Enablers of this demonic Rape Culture, the Law must stretch her long arm to drag them into answering for their guilt.
As we can see in all cases of rape the victims are even more afraid of the Stigmatizers than the Rapist whom they are forced to live with in silence after the experience.
The government must do something about this form of moral assault and conduct likely to breech peace. Victims do not commit suicide because of Rape but due to the Victimization!
A rape is a violation that goes beyond the physical, it is an attack on the soul reason it is able to cause such a deep damage on the psyche of the person. I do intend to write on how rape violates the soul.
We hear gruesome domestic violence without tracing the root of such acts, one may not know if these people are acting out of pain from a rape experience taking it out on their innocent spouse.
Are we waiting for victims to start taking out their pain on stigmatizer? Are we waiting for victims to starts poisoning or killing the opposite sex due to the violations they have suffered? It can be you or I who gets hit! You can see we are all involved in this.
The Silent Enablers must be SHUT UP for the well meaning people to effectively tackle this sadness that is now a "culture". This Rape Culture like every other barbaric culture will become extinct when victims can open up to a willing society that wants to truly abolish this sickness.
It is sad that women are more guilty of this Stigmatization! While we are expected as women to show more understanding to fellow women but the drive to cause further damage on the psyche of the victim of rape or any other unfortunate incidence make them to stigmatize thereby making other victims to withdraw & remain silent.
Unfortunately, women are their own attackers! I have heard of a case where a mother called her daughter Loose after being raped repeatedly by her husband the step father! Some women still stay in a marriage even if they are aware that their own daughters have been violated by their husbands. In my very presence a woman narrated how she mocked a young lady who was raped and the lady later committed suicide the people around including me were too shocked to speak! But she was marked by all who witnessed her gory confession and it was very bad mark of Murder.
How about a banner stating
FREE PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP FOR ALL RAPE VICTIMS AT THE GENERAL HOSPITALS or by any organisation that can help.
How about shutting up someone who comes to gossip to you with the intent to stigmatize rape victims?
What if we all confront Stigmatizers publicly for being demonic enablers of rape when they dare to stigmatize?
How about reporting them to the police as witnesses to a moral assault and conduct likely to breech peace? When twenty people spend a year in prison others will learn the benefits of not being enablers of vices.
The men should also speak up on sexual harassment or coercion in work places. Allowing a woman take advantage of you sexually does not make you a strong man. Put it on a recorder as women are more verbal in sexual harassment than men who are more physical.
This culture will not die if victims continue to keep quiet knowing a rapist does not stop at one victim or at one time. Serial rapist is not an empty term it is real. If rape victims are given the same sympathy as victims of armed robbery attack it will die like armed robbery is doing now.
As a public warning to Stigmatizers that may know me in person: if you stigmatize any rape victim in my presence I may psychically dig up your dirty linen and watch you swallow a dose of your own medicine.
Together we can make it work!
I pray for all of us to receive the strength to do that which is right at all times. Amen.
