[IAC++] What Needs to be Done about Growing Rapes in India - PLEASE POST

This is not the first time and the last time that a minor girl or a major
girl has been raped.

Over the years, there have been cases of step-fathers / uncles / grand
fathers, coming from different classes and religions in different countries, raping the ones who trust them the most.

If that has happened over the generations, how can this be stopped.

Currently the media is reporting about the outrage over the gang-rape of a
girl in a public bus but wonder how long will it last... till perhaps
something else newsy turns up and perhaps until the next such or worst
happens.

With political parties trying to garner public sympathy (and perhaps votes
in the next election), they have over the years acted like Gandhi's three
monkeys when it comes to fielding their candidates.

Here is a report that has been circulated and reported even in international
media (Pakistan included):

HYPOCRITES: Political Parties Field Rapists in Elections

One can't expect anything from the current crop of politicians but words
meant for media-bites only.

There is need for URGENT and STRONG ACTION NOW. All those men (born out of women) have sisters and wives MUST

- FORCE the political parties to drop any candidates who have been convicted
or accused of rape and sexual assaults,
- ENSURE that rape and assault cases are fast-tracked in special courts to
be set up NOW,
- RECALL the parliament NOW without waiting for the next session,
- PASS strong laws with unanimous vote to try and punish those accused of
rape and sexual assault,
- FIND a way to protect the women from being 'raped' and 'assaulted' in the
court with lawyers out there to defend their clients even though they know
the real facts,
- SHIFT the onus on the accused to prove their innocence.

Before the next election, all parties should vet the aspirants for ticket
before they become candidates.

The public, in general, and organisations, in particular, can come
up with other ideas which can be passed on to their MPs and Rajya Sabha  members.
