The effects of rape on rape victims are legion and devastating. Not a few female rape victims are traumatized for the rest of their lives after the experience.
: From the dense forest of Sambisa, Maiduguri to the coastal marshy terrains of the Niger Delta, the trending news is rape. It is the everyday staple the news media feed us now.
So, what is the reason behind the prevalence of rape in our society? Some people posit that women invite rape to themselves by dressing suggestively and scantily.That explains the campaign against indecent dressing being carried out on campuses across the country. However, in the olden times, it was said that women would do farm work and domestic chores either scantily dressed or in their birthday suits.
More so, incestuous relationships have become part of our narratives. There are men, who deflower their daughters and turn them to sex toys. More so, victims of rape are stigmatized, which makes them have low self-esteem. That’s why some women who suffer rape do not make it public, not to talk of them inviting the police to arrest the rapists.
