UN Study Looks at High Rate of Rape
An author of the study explains why rape is so prevalent
The UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific surveyed over 10,000 men at nine sites in six countries: Bangladesh, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka. At the survey site in China, 23 percent of men admitted to at least one rape. In Papua New Guinea, that figure was 61 percent.
To understand what's behind such startling figures, National Geographic spoke with Rachel Jewkes, the lead technical adviser for the study.
You've studied rape extensively in South Africa and now across Asia and the Pacific. How did you get involved in this kind of research?
I moved out to South Africa from England in 1994. I had a job to set up the women's health research unit in the South African Medical Research Council. I was told that the key issues in women's health were things like teenage pregnancy, so I said, "Okay, I'm willing to do research on teenage pregnancy, but as part of this work I want to talk to teenagers about how they got pregnant."
We interviewed 24 pregnant teenagers. Twenty-three out of the 24 told us stories about being raped. I had absolutely no idea that sexual violence was a phenomenon that could have this sort of prevalence.
What have you learned about why men rape?
Sexual entitlement is the most common motivation across all of these countries. I think that very, very strongly points to the root of rape in gender relations, and the fact that rape is really legitimized in so many of these countries.

INTIAN RAISKAUKSET OVAT SEURAUSTA TIETÄMÄTTÖMYYDESTÄ JA TYTTÖJEN SYRJINNÄSTÄ
Intiassa raiskaukset jäävät usein raportoimatta paitsi uhrin sukupuolen myös yhteiskunnallisen taustan takia. Hiljaisuuden kulttuuria on vaikea rikkoa, jos raiskaaja kuuluu hyväosaisiin ja raiskattu köyhään väestönosaan.
...
Miksi raiskauksia katsotaan yhä useimmiten läpi sormien? Ja miksei media ole tarttunut aiemmin vuosisatoja jatkuneeseen raiskaamisen kulttuuriin?
Intia on patriarkaalinen maa, joka suosii poikia ja miehiä ja antaa heille määräysvallan. Nainen on monen silmissä hyödyke, palvelija, ja hänen kohtalonsa on miehen käsissä.
