India's Gang Rapes - and the Failure to Stop Them

One of the girls wore crimson, the other emerald. They had long black
hair. They were barefoot. They were cousins and of a low caste. As shown
in gruesome photographs, they were barely more than children.
.
One was 14 and the other was 15, police said. Without a toilet in their
home, they had gone outside to relieve themselves the night before and had
now been found dead, hanging from a mango tree framed by a rising sun.
.
A crowd of villagers swelled underneath the bodies Wednesday morning.
Reports said they wouldnt allow anyone to cut down the girls until arrests
were made, so for hours, they waited in near silence. Then came news that
four men had been arrested for the crime.
.

.
Autopsy reports confirmed the children had been raped and strangled. News
of the attack splashed across nearly every major publication in India.
Even in a country where a rape occurs every 22 minutes, according to
Indian government statistics reported by the AP, the gang-rape and killing
was shocking.
.
Shocking because of its sheer brutality. Shocking because two suspects are
police officers. And shocking because even after 2012?s fatal gang-rape
in which a womans insides were mangled with a metal rod and tightening of
national anti-rape laws, men in India have committed the crime again.
.
Gang-rapes are evidence of entrenched social problems, analysts said: the
resiliency of caste-based sexual violence, police indifference and a
tolerance of sexual harassment.
.
There is no magic formula to deal with the problem of rape, Indira
Jaisingh, national additional solicitor general, told the BBC in 2013.
Theres a bias that operates in the mind of decision makers stereotyping
women, blaming the victim, trying to find out if she invited the rape.

I lived for 24 years in New Delhi, a city where sexual harassment is as
regular as mealtime, one New York Times opinion writer wrote. Every day,
somewhere in the city, it crosses the line into rape.
