Putting an end to Rape
A few days ago a high-profile case of gang rape occurred
in Pakistan, and different cultural, social, and ideological debates surfaced. This is a cultural practice & common in public debate after happening of such kind of incidents in Pakistan. This happened because the Pakistani public take decisions based on their
emotions,i.g; to vote, support, or criticize, they take decisions
behind reality and facts, and this ends with no benefits &
results but to perpetuate this culture of rape. We see everywhere
on every platform of television the panels which they called for debate
depending full of men with little to no female representation, &
the trends were at their peak on Facebook, Twitter & other social
media platforms to punish the criminals in front of the public, by
hanging in front of the public, etc. And our Prime Minister Imran Khan
said that the criminals must be given the punishment of castration by
chemical means. Now the question arises here is that, whether this
may reduce the crime of rape or not, or whether women may be given the rights
that Islam has given to them or not?In our culture, women pretend to be the property of men(the Family women of the man), & the non-family women are not to be seen as respected, their rights have been pushed aside. Castration or hanging is not the ultimate solution to this, because if we castrate a man & when he came back to society the fire of revenge will be in his mind against the women, & this will promote the other crimes too, so, after giving these kinds of Punishments we would be unable to suppress the crime because rape is a disease called patriarchy, misogyny, and toxic masculinity. Hence there are only some steps that help this issue.
First, an end of the rape culture by an end of its sources. Second, reforms & third is the prevalence of Law and order, and the major thing is the implementation of the law. Legislation is not the ultimate solution for this particular crime, there is a dire need to do some practical work.
