Why Rapists Must Be Exposed -By Nusaiba Baffa Usman
The rape culture often increases the gravity of gender-based violence and excuses sexual harassment and abuse. The belief that ‘boys will always be boys’ should be denounced and abandoned, simply because the boys would engage in rape thinking that they wouldn’t be prosecuted based on the aforementioned belief.
For the past year, rape has disturbed and engrossed our beloved country (Nigeria). Several rape cases are being recorded annually and the fact that legal actions are not taken against the perpetrators of such gruesome and heinous crime is disappointing.
There are several cases of rape which have led to the death of many female teenagers. Some are underaged who are below the age of puberty and haven’t reached maturity.
However, rapists do not deserve pity or sympathy, rather wrath and fury.
In no way should a person who commits an illegal sexual act deserve our sympathy because they are destroying the future of the victims.
