Rape can be defined as the act of forcefully engaging someone in a sexual act, against their will or without a verbal consent. No means no!
Rape has a connection with force and it is a form of sexual assault which has a dehumanizing and evil effect that never leaves a victim the same. Its traumatizing nature has made it difficult for people to get healed over time though some never get over it because of the scar it leave on victims.
This act overtime on victims who do not have the will power to overcome the trauma have had to dent the progress which they would have naturally experienced, the effect of these is that destinies are either delayed or destroyed.
We cannot over emphasis the negative effect of rape on victims. The effect of loss of identity and low self-esteem has been one of the major effect that needs to be dealt with before going further in helping victims of Rape. This evil act of rape destroys individual and if not put in check that individual can destroy a family, and the effect of that on family will translate to the society and then the Nation at large. Perhaps this may be the reason for the many rape cases we have around today, many homes today are suffering because of this major disaster. Take for example a woman who got raped and got married, there is every tendency that she will take out the anger and the pain on her husband if she is not healed from the experience, and that family might never know peace as a result of the experience. A child that got raped also have the tendency of being rebellious to the parent and will never give the parent peace of mind. This evil act is a major destroyer in homes.
The only reason why rape happens is because an individual mind is perverted to perform the function of a rapist and that is to rape. A lot of rapists do not really know the havoc they cause when they rape people, taking advantage of someone body with violence. They only think of the pleasure they want to derive during that forceful act, forgetting that no one enjoys being rape. A Rapist mind-set is wicked and evil, he carries out this act out in his mind first before turning it into action. And if he succeeds doing this with his mind, he will also succeed in his action.
A lot of victims have committed suicide because they were raped. The prostitute that you see on the road and you judge, could it have occurred to you that she might have been raped. Yes many prostitute are victims of rape and as a result of the ordeal they made a choice to go into that profession because they felt so used, dirty and lost and may feel that’s the place they belong.
The same goes to drug addicts, some are victims of rape through, and made a choice to medicate that horrible Feelings with drugs. Same applies to some patients in psychatric hospital, because they could not cope with the memories their experiences left on them, to the extent that it made them go berseck and insane and became condemned in a psychatric home. While some became armed robbers because of the anger that springed up due to their experiences and in one way or another decided to pay the society back with their act. Different strokes for different being.
A lot of people that we judge are majorly victims of circumstances.
The same way women get raped, men also get raped.
Rape need to be addressed, because its eating deeply into our society, that if not look into appropriately, it can lead to a major catastrophe and destruction.
LET US JOIN HANDS TOGETHER AND CAMPAIGN AGAINST RAPE BEFORE IT BECOMES A GENERATIONAL DESTROYER.
