I disagree with the fact that they decided to punish the victim, but I also understand because that is their law. However, I find it disturbing that they didn't find the rapists guilty of anything. It would have made more sense if they got a punishment along with her.
Kimberly Maddigan's comment, March 4, 2015 7:06 PM
I'm so thankful for the fact that I grew up in a place where females aren't seen as objects and have the freedom to move about freely as they wish, with whomever they wish. It is unfortunate that the victim and her friend were both raped and both received punishment, and while I don't agree with it she did break a law. The way I see it, she isn't being punished because she was raped, but she is being punished because she wasn't accompanied by a male guardian in public. I don't agree with the fact that her punishment was worsened, but I'm glad to see that the ones who raped her are having their punishment doubled as well.

I repost a link to this because of the stunning evidence of convicted, charged, or suspected rapists who have been elected to Parliament. Candidates being charged with rape who are still successful in bids to gain public office; officials who are accused but keep their posts -- it's a recipe for ineffective policy in the face of clear mistreatment of women.

Why Chinese men are the most single in the world: the perils of gender imbalance in China

Why Chinese men are the most single in the world: the perils of gender imbalance in China | ED 262 mylineONLINE:  Gender, Sexism, & Sexual Orientations | Scoop.it
Possibly the greatest demographic challenge China is facing has due to do with a hugely discrepant gender imbalance. On average, 118 boys are born for every 100 girls compared to the world average of 103 to 107, respectively. The effects of the imbalance are already felt by an aging population and in time, it could seriously affect Chinese society for the worse.
