South Africa Rape Study: 1 In 4 Men Admit Rape

I’m just amazed at how different conditions are for women country-to-country. I’m not sure how to proceess this new survey data other than with a total sense of dismay.

According to a new survey conducted in South Africa:

One in four men in South Africa may have raped someone.
More than half had attacked more than one victim, data from a new survey suggests.
One in 20 men surveyed said they had raped a woman or girl in the last year.
The study found that 73% of respondents said they had carried out their first assault before the age of 20.

Not sure what kind of discussion this can lead to, other than perhaps increased awareness of just how vulnerable women are in certain developing countries, and how widespread the use of rape as a tool of repression still is.
