okay this might get dark for some of y'all but i really wanna talk bout this...so TW: RAPE
okay so if there are any fellow South Asians, Middle Easterners and North Africans..
please answer cuz i would like to know..
im from south asia but i was and born and currently living in the middle east...
what i wanna talk bout is sexual assault and how it is dealt with...
and why the assaulters are fearing the law system less and less....
the middle east is mostly well off..at least where i am from...I've heard that if someone was assaulted here... then it wouldn't publicised at all...even if the victim passes away... idk how much i can trust this statement but i genuinely have never heard of sexual assault victims or cases ever being talked about where i am from so i think it holds some merit to it..
and the main reason i wanted to address this is...
im gonna leave for south asia soon for my higher education... and south asia is quite well known for their traumatising sexual assault cases...
and tho im going back to my home country.... im more scared of the place...
and it does not help when my parents tell me to " always make sure ur phone is fully charged before u leave the house.. send pictures of the license plate before u enter a cab... if its dark outside call us or a friend u trust and stay on call till u reach home and lock the door.... when ur at a party always have an eye on ur drinks..dont stay out too late..if ur staying over at a friends place make sure the parents are at home jic"
like-
i want to talk about a lot of cases that took place in south asia too...but i dont know much about them and i havent researched enough so if i say sumn insensitive or inaccurate i would feel bad so...
uhm what im trying to say is..i just want someone to talk to bout this...
like anyone..
if uk more about the cases then please do tell me what uk bout them and how it had been solved...
i would really appreciate it...
