an 18-year-old Ethiopian woman in Sudan was the big tub a brutal gang-rape seven
men raped her and she was looking for a new home she went into an empty building
where they did this horrible thing to her she was three months pregnant at the
time
however Sudanese Court has convicted the woman she was blind five hundred
Sudanese pounds
and she received a suspended one-month sentence jail sentence due to her
pregnancy
now originally issues facing the death penalty for adultery but then they found
out that she was divorced in there like
alright fine we won't kill you you are rape victim in all and you're single so
it's okay
up but they basically convicted her
indecent axe for okay
a.m. but don't worry they got the
six of the seven men a I'm adultery and
distributing indecent material because there was videotape it what kind of
justice system puts a woman in jail for being gang-raped
and of course what are they base it on
so we have to do it its it's our morals the judge if they do it based on their
morality
yeah oftentimes when people talk about morality the mean the exact
up is absolutely so originally after this a
gang rape happened she wanted to file a report which under this type of system
I don't really understand why anyone would want to file report because
they're going to blame you they're gonna blame the victim
up but unfortunately at that time or fortunately I was a public holiday so
she was unable to do so
so according to the report when a woman later tried to file
a complaint rate she was prohibited due to her involvement
in the criminal investigation cooking sis we know you were raped we know you
had sex
therefore you're a criminal so you can charge you
file charges against the people who raped you well
makes the head heard oh my god so by the way
the second thing that it does outside of that incredibly
indecent acted they did to her in specific in the gross injustice
is sends a huge sign to everybody issued and go on rape anyone you like
Mike maybe you get caught maybe we charge you with adultery or something
like that right yep
or videotaping the rate we may charge you with that Heidi
up but if your woman reported at your peril
so that's a free-for-all you know almost no one will report it because about that
means you're a penny one you like
and you see similar activity in India not in the sense that the victim will be
prosecuted the way that she was right in Sudan this particular incident is
actually worse
but in India a lotta times women will be raped will be sexually assaulted
and there's never any justice because prosecutors will go after the rapist
so it sent this message that hey you know what you can do this and get away
with it
which is why rate continues to be a really big problem in India and I
imagine it's
a big problem in countries like Sudan where there are absolutely no
consequences or very little consequences
for the actual perpetrators and in muslim regions oftentimes also well look
in order to make the guy we need for witnesses and he raped you alone in a
room
so readers know it is but you you just admitted to the sex
and that's a crime so you're going to jail for being raped
and he's free to go cuz your forwardness against them by the weight they were
going to
give her the death sentence okay death penalty
if she was married: when this gang rape happened
so don't worry if you're married I was under the assumption that adultery meant
that hey you're having an affair
like it's a consensual affair getting raped it's against her will you did not
want to have sex with those people one last thing about this
its you know why we can't comprehend it cuz
its were coming at it from a different context they're coming out from the
context the woman is
the women a property rate assist their property
well you that rape who cares if it's your fault not your fault your
painted you're tainted goods so been the case in the deaths and as we throw you
away
rate but wait I didn't commit adultery you say I but I
it wasn't volitional case was bill is wrong that the property is damaged
either way
so it's pathetic
