A Girl Is Far More Responsible For Rape Than A Boy – Rapist by oluvick(op): 11:55am On Mar 03, 2015
One of the men convicted of the gang-rape and
murder of an Indian student that shocked the
world has said he blames the victim for “roaming
around at night”.

The comments are made in a documentary to be
screened on International Women’s Day.
Mukesh Singh, who was sentenced to death for
his crimes, said the victim should not have been
out at night, and should not have resisted the
attack on a moving bus in 2012.

“You can’t clap with one hand -– it takes two
hands. A decent girl won’t roam around at 9
o’clock at night,” he said in an interview for
“India’s Daughter”, a BBC documentary to be
broadcast on Sunday.

“A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy.
About 20 per cent of girls are good.”

The 23-year-old physiotherapy student died from
her injuries 13 days after she was savagely
attacked on her way home from the cinema with
a male friend on December 16, 2012.

Before her death she was able to speak to police
about the crime, which caused outrage across the
world and triggered mass protests in India.
The attack highlighted the frightening level of
violence against women in the world’s second
most populous country and led to a major reform
of the rape laws, speeding up trials and
increasing penalties.

But Singh, 28, said his execution would “make life
more dangerous for future rape victims”.

“Now when they rape, they won’t leave the girl
like we did. They will kill her,” he told Leslee
Udwin, the award-winning British filmmaker
behind the documentary.

He also criticised the victim for fighting back
against her attackers.

“She should just be silent and allow the rape,” he
said. “Then they’d have dropped her off after
doing her.”

“India’s Daughter” will be televised in seven
countries including India and Britain on Sunday,
International Women’s Day.

Udwin will speak to media at a screening of her
film later Tuesday alongside the victim’s parents,
who have campaigned vocally for improvements
in women’s safety since their daughter’s death.
She said she was inspired by seeing ordinary
Indians take to the streets to protest “in
unprecedented numbers” following the attack.

“In my lifetime, I can’t recall any other country
standing up with such commitment and
determination for women’s rights,” Udwin said.

The case sparked much soul-searching about
India’s treatment of women, but women’s rights
campaigners say little has changed in the deeply
patriarchal country.

Singh, one of five people convicted over the
attack, admitted driving the bus during the
incident but denied taking part in the rape.

He is appealing the verdict against him.
One of the alleged attackers died in jail before he
could be tried, while another was too young to be
tried as an adult and is serving a three-year
sentence in a reform facility.

He does not have a point, any circumstance can make u move at nyt, its nobody that m moving around at nyt, so far m nt breakin d law. Everylady has d right to move around anytime but ladies should be security conscious n dress decently, in order to avoid sexual harassment at times. A rapist might actually be in d mood, but he seein ur provocative dressing might turn him on.

Hum!!!!

How many of the victim do fight back, few because they will overpower her when they are many.
Also most rape cases her are done to little children, old women and those that are challenged(insane). So, they don't fight back. How I wish we allow our justice institution to be powerful and send those criminal to prison when their case as being proven beyond all doubt to be true
