An American woman is seeking justice after being drugged and raped by a group of men in her five-star New Delhi hotel room. This happened on April 9. She was a member of a tour group. She said that she was given something to drink and India police are investigating. New Delhi has an ugly reputation when it comes to the safety of women.
The alleged rape took place in the woman’s hotel room in one of the capital’s most popular tourist spots. Some 34,651 rapes were reported in India in 2015, but many experts believe the cases recorded are only a small fraction of the number of crimes committed, especially in a country where rapes can be perceived as deeply shameful for the victim and her family.

The feeling of helplessness is strong.

Rape is one of the most disgusting crimes a man or woman can commit. What is most forgotten about or even ignored when the subject is brought up is that women do it too. For both men and women everywhere this perversion needs to stop. As a people we need to stand up when we hear about these things and if the courts won’t pursue the person then i feel the family should step up and take action themselves. The government can’t do everything for us.
