Rape...does the victim deserve it or not?

The causes and reasons for rape are unknown. I can try to explore some of the impulses and conditions which lead men to rape, but the study of the victims isn't really disclosed with proper statistics, because of many silent victims. Men as well as women get raped, but it's more women who become a victim. A rapist unfortunately, is most likely to be a friend of the family or even a relative.

The problem of violence against women needs to be frankly and steadily handled by authorities in measures to protect women and their rights more.
