There is a myth > According to some rapists,' if a girl says no it means a yes'. Some people think that if a girl is drinking alcohol, having fun with male friends, and being frank with them, then it means she is a prostitute.

In India every 16 minutes a women is Raped somewhere in the country. In 2019 the country had recorded 88 Rape cases every day and many Rape cases are not registered because of the family reuptation , log kya kahenge etc etc .......

I feel ashamed for saying this that India is a country filled with Rapists and not even a single woman is safe in India and I am not a proud Indian.
