    Two Sisters Raped And Hanged From a Tree in India
    May 29, 2014

    Two teenage sisters in rural India were raped and killed by attackers who hung their bodies from a mango tree, which became the scene of a silent protest by villagers angry about alleged police inaction in the case. Two of the four men arrested so far are police officers.

    Villagers found the girls’ bodies hanging from the tree early Wednesday, hours after they disappeared from fields near their home in Katra village in Uttar Pradesh state, police Superintendent Atul Saxena said. The girls, who were 14 and 15, had gone into the fields because there was no toilet in their home.

    Hundreds of angry villagers stayed next to the tree throughout Wednesday, silently protesting the police response. Indian TV footage showed the villagers sitting under the girls’ bodies as they swung in the wind, and preventing authorities from taking them down until the suspects were arrested. Police arrested two police officers and two men from the village later Wednesday and were searching for three more suspects. Autopsies confirmed the girls had been raped and strangled before being hung, Saxena said.

    Last month, the head of Uttar Pradesh state’s governing party, the regionally prominent Samajwadi Party, told an election rally that the party was opposed to the law calling for gang rapists to be executed. “Boys will be boys,” Mulayam Singh Yadav said. “They make mistakes.”

    Its shameful. In a perfect world Mulayam would get the Edward II treatment. Unfortunately in this case, it is a civilized world

      What's wrong with people? "Boys will be boys, they make mistakes"?

          India is vast, heavily populated and there is a huge discrepancy between regions, villages and cities. It's safe to guess there lies the reason.

                I appreciate the intent of your post but the philosophy of biology is that no two are alike.

                I would recommend you to watch Bandit queen movie. It has given quite a large exposure to fault lines prevalent among masses on cast, gender and remote geography in question itself.

                BTW plenty has been discussed on such crimes before so I am not gong to to make further comments. Having said that the assholes like the one who is ruling the state and a mentality like this that boys will be boys and this Israeli Judge: ‘Some Women Enjoy Being Raped’ has to be condemned and destroyed before jumping to fix bigger issues like law and enforcement.

                  This is sad. Shameful. Indian mothers need to teach their kids respect for women from an early age. And yes, castrate the rapists and then hang them.

                        Why do we have Ariel Castro in the land of the free? why do we have Adam Lanza and Elliott Rodgers? there are monsters everywhere, sometimes there crimes aggravate due to social conditions (poverty, illeteracy, communal differences etc.)

                        The silver lining (if it can be called that) is the response of the civil society and the response of officialdom, which in this case has been prompt

                          To add to this, India is a vast country with several parts coexisting : well off, well educated sections with a modern outlook to places where the poverty, education, health and other indicators are below some of the worst places in sub Saharan Africa, and everything in between. Many of our societies are deeply traditional and ill at ease with modern concepts equality, liberty and what not. With these deep traditions, among other things, come notions such as caste and gender superiority. These sections of society are being dragged, sometimes with reluctance into the modern world, along with all its exposure.

                          Yet these things occur

                          But when they do, horrified as I am, I am also immensely uplifted by the response of society around them. Witness the stance of the villagers in forcing the police to take action. Civil society is waking up in the subcontinent and is no longer willing to ignore.

                          Even the horrible stoning in Pakistan was met by protests yesterday.

                            Happened almost a year ago (June/2013). Condemnation was swift and harsh and resulted in his resignation from the bench within days.

                            Israeli judge resigns after stunning comments on girls and rape

                            Good riddance. No society should tolerate such a mindset, especially in its courts and LEO's, and no one should be above the law.

                            Indeed. Moshe Katzav, a former President of Israel (2000-2007) was convicted in 2010 of two counts of rape. He is currently serving a seven year sentence in Maasiyahu Prison.

                            On 20 May 2014, the Israeli Supreme Court denied a defense motion for a retrial.

                              BBC News - Why India's sanitation crisis kills women

                              The gruesome rape and hanging of two teenage girls in the populous Uttar Pradesh state again proves how women have become the biggest victims of India's sanitation crisis.

                              The two girls were going to the fields to defecate when they went missing on Tuesday night.

                              Nearly half-a-billion Indians - or 48% of the population - lack access to basic sanitation and defecate in the open.

                              The situation is worse in villages where, according to the WHO and Unicef, some 65% defecate in the open. And women appear to bear the brunt as they are mostly attacked and assaulted when they step out early in the morning or late in the evening.

                              Several studies have shown that women without toilets at home are vulnerable to sexual violence when travelling to and from public facilities or open fields.

                              The evidence is glaring.

                              A senior police official in Bihar said some 400 women would have "escaped" rape last year if they had toilets in their homes.

                              Women living in urban slums of Delhi reported specific incidents of girls under 10 "being raped while on their way to use a public toilet" to researchers of a 2011 study funded by WaterAid and DFID-funded Sanitation and Hygiene Applied Research for Equity.

                              Women in one slum said when they went out in the open to defecate, local boys stared at them, made threats, threw bricks and stabbed them. Others said they faced "lewd remarks, physical gestures and rape when they relieved themselves in the bushes".

                              "We have had one-on-one fights with thugs in order to save our daughters from getting raped. It then becomes a fight that either you [the thug] kill me to get to my daughter or you back off," a helpless mother told the researchers, pointing out to the chilling frequency of such assaults.

                              By one estimate, some 300 million women and girls in India defecate in the open. Most of them belong to underprivileged sections of the society and are too poor to afford toilets. The two girls from Badaun, who reportedly belonged to the lower-rung of a group of castes called Other Backward Classes (OBCs), were among them and paid with their lives.

                              "This vicious, horrifying attack illustrates too vividly the risks that girls and women take when they don't have a safe, private place to relieve themselves," says said Barbara Frost, chief executive of WaterAid. "Ending open defecation is an urgent priority that needs to be addressed, for the benefit of women and girls who live in poverty and without access to privacy and a decent toilet."

                              Experts believe that India needs to scale up its war on sanitation with a special emphases on women.

                              It needs to build more private toilets with sewerage connections when space is available and shared toilets when space is scarce. Community toilets have worked in many places and flopped in others like the city of Bhopal, where, a study revealed, only half as many women as men used the toilets because of their distance from home.

                              This is not a problem in India alone: violence against women on the way to or from public toilets have been reported from countries like Kenya and Uganda. But for a country which aspires for superpower status, lack of toilets is an enduring shame.

                              On his stump, the new prime minister Narendra Modi of the Hindu nationalist BJP had promised, "Toilets first, Temples later". He needs to do that sooner to save lives of more women.
