Uttar Pradesh, India. 3-yr-old Girl Raped By Teen Neighbour In Budaun Dist. Bareilly News - Times of India

1-I think lack of sex education and hyper-conservative sexual repression along with misogynistic society that blames the victim are the main causes.

2-Also many sex offenders either have political connections or are related to political leaders making them immune to persecution.

3-Corruption and inertia in the law and order system makes it easier to get away with crime.

4-Poverty is another issue. Poor women and girls are at higher risk of being sexually assaulted. With 57% of the population making less than $2.34 per day and dependent on rations for food.

5-Caste system also puts women at risk. Since the start of Hinduism people are divided in four classes. The ruling class, The priests, the business class and the labour class. In that order the labour class form the lowest caste called Dalits who were historically treated as slaves and untouchables. The culture still prevails to an extent. Rapes committed by higher caste people on lower caste victims are not taken seriously by society and usually the lower caste victims are considered to be lying about rape.

There is nothing inherently wrong with Indian people because almost half of the Singapore is populated by Indians and this doesn't happen there because of strict laws that don't bend for anyone and higher sexual literacy and per capita income.

Not racist at all. And the news isn't covering as many stories as they shoul be.
