I didn’t even know April 3rd was blog against sexual violence day.

I found out from reading this post by Witchy Woo.
It’s terrible stuff.

A woman was raped in front of her children by a pair of teenagers. A video was made of her rape and put on youtube. She reported the crime late, after a friend of hers came across it. She has now been arrested and could be charged for having sex with a minor, and that good old “perverting the course of justice.”
Like that woman who was arrested for “perverting the course of justice” after she reported a rape for the second time in her life and so was clearly a ‘wicked liar’ as though there’s a limit of one time and one time only that a woman could report rape.
‘Cause you know. It’s not like there are women and girls who have been raped by over 200 men (With only one of them being arrested.)

Perverting the course of justice. Women who report their rapes can be fucking arrested if they can’t prove it. And you know, it’s a hard thing to prove.
There was a video made, put on the world for all to see, but still the police have arrested that poor woman. Oh, and her poor children have been put through this abuse too. It’s terrible and it’s terrible that she’s been a-fucking-rested.

On another terrible note:
On the morning of international womens day this year in Brisbane city a woman was raped by 10 men. Detailed here by Maggie Hays.

So I don’t know what to say about sexual violence. Just… just stop it! I wan’t to scream “STOOOOOP” to all the rapists and molestors, but of course they’d never listen.

Give us that 24 hour truce in which there is no rape. Just 24 hours without a woman raped. That’d be fantastic.
