A professor at the Department of Theatre Arts, University of Abuja, Prof Mabel Evwierhoma, has explained the reasons for the prevalence of rape in the country.
Evwierhoma, who spoke during a virtual lecture titled ‘Rape as Anti-Culture in Contemporary Nigeria’ at the National Institute for Cultural Orientation in Abuja, on Wednesday, however, stated that rape cannot be justified and that the causes of rape underscore that it should never be condoned.
“The cross-country anomy currently experienced from Boko Haram, kidnapping, farmer-herdsmen clashes banditry have claimed women and girls as rape victims. The don added that most pieces of contemporary music “focus on the female genitalia and depicts acts of non-consensual sex.” She also cited high consumption of sexual and pornographic content and predation on people who pose least resistance to sexual overtures or yield to the forceful demand by predators.According to her, it is high time researchers delved into the factors that sexually arouse female or male rapists, instead of trying to gauge the factors that cause rape from an informed standpoint or general assumptions.
