While the governments who oppose the U.S. government are condemned for spreading violence against the women, a closer examination of the matter shows that this issue is much more prevalent in the U.S. itself. Its existing cultural policies are pouring fuel on the fire.
One of the worst cases of the violation against women is sexual assault and attacking women's or even men's rights in the field of sexual relations is caused by the moral decay ruling these relations in the United States of America. Considering this point, some American private institutes and NGO's are motivated to do research in this field followed by their attempt to help the presumed victims of this story.
The report that you have in front of you is based on a number of statistical reports from some of the most credited institutes and tries to clear out, to some extent, this immorality and violation by relying on NGO's reports. It is crystal clear that we can notice some differences in statistics, coming from different institutes, which are due to the different statistical populations and research methodologies being implemented. Nevertheless, all of the reports are describing the formation of a catastrophic event in American society that has unfortunately become part of the American culture.
RAINN: Every two minutes someone is raped in the U.S.
RAINN stands for "Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network". This institute has revealed in an interesting report that 44 percent of the victims, majority women, are under age 18 and 88 percent are under age 30.
It has also been highlighted that every 2 minutes someone is sexually assaulted in the U.S.and each year 213,000 people are victims of sexual assault. In 2007, this number reached 248,300. This report is about both men and women but obviously the number of women is much bigger.
According to this report, 60% of the assaults are not reported to the police and 15 of 16 will never even spend a day in jail.
One of the interesting points in RAINN's report is that 2/3rd of the assaults are committed by someone known to the victim!
RAINN has underlined in one of the report's pages that in the last 13 years 4.2 million people were subject to the sexual assault in the U.S.
NationMaster: U.S ranks thirteen in the number of rape victims
NationMaster's website has presented in a surprising graph on one of its pages that the U.S. stands thirteen in this ranking.
According to this website 0.3 in a thousand Americans are raped. It is interesting to note that the status is much worse in some western countries like Canada!
One of the other statistics that can be found on this site is related to divorce that the U.S. stands the first on the list. The U.S. by 4.95 in a thousand divorces takes the first place and it does not seem any other country would be able to compete with it on this issue. On this list, the closest country to the U.S. is Qatar which holds one fifth of divorce statistics compared to the U.S..
The National Center for Victims of Crime
According to this center, about 3% of American men - a total of 2.78 million men - have experienced rape at some point in their lifetime. 71% of male victims were first raped before the age of 18.
Males are the least likely to report a sexual assault, though it is estimated that they make up 10% of all victims.
It is worth mentioning that 22% of male inmates have been raped at least once during their prison time; which is up to 420,000 prisoners each year.
Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center: 1.3 women in the U.S. are raped each minute
According to this center 1.3 women in the U.S. are raped each minute. All of these rapes are done forcibly and on this account this translates to 78 per hour, 1,871 per day or 683,000 per year.
In 80% of all rapes, the perpetrator is someone known to the survivor and in 60 percent of the cases the sexual assaults occur in the survivor's home or at the home of a friend, relative, or neighbor.
54% of female survivors were under 18 at the time of the first rape, and 83% were under 25.
Violence against the women and children
According to the "Anti-Violence Organization", every 9 seconds a woman is beaten in the United States and child abuse is reported every 10 seconds. The report continues that 5 to 6 children die each day as a resultof child abuse or neglect.
1 in every 4 children in the United States (28 million) are living in a household with an alcoholic adult.
Sexual slavery in the U.S.
Sexual slavery is one of the horrible cases that has existed in the past and has taken a modern form. In this filthy issue, a woman or a man is taken as a slave by different people and mainly by a master and is tortured and sexually abused by them, performed in a brutal manner. Beating, hanging from a part of the body and especially to hang the women from the breasts, whipping, Group raping and ... is one of the acts that sexual slaves are facing. A lot of porno sites exist over the internet that propagandize this hateful phenomenon under the title of BDSM. The United States of America is undoubtedly a pioneer in this moral decay too.
According to the lemondrop website about 20 thousand slaves are smuggled into the U.S. These people are deceived and brought to the U.S. by promises about the work opportunities and are sold for between 10 and 300 thousand dollars, so the drudgery and the mentioned sufferings are being inflicted upon them. This statistics do not include U.S. citizen victims taken as slaves for which no reliable source can be found.
Very pitiful stories of these people can be found over the internet, which are really painful. According to Wikipedia the majority of these people are poor girls who have entered this filthy market out of poverty.
This hideous phenomenon has spread to the extent that by searching the "BDSM hardcore" about 45 million results are found.
What has been mentioned was an example of the cultural status in which the U.S has negligently and indirectly permitted rapists to do sexual crimes against children, women and even men. If we try to add the statistics of the other crimes to above figures, then it will become clear where the pole of the world liberal democracy is heading and despite the technological advances, to what extent it has fallen into moral decay.
Who is to blame?
The damages caused by American capitalism are the huge gap between the rich and the poor, the tax cuts reserved for the rich and one percent of the society by the government. This system is in order to keep the people silenced and to distract them from the big issues and does not have any other alternative than creating free sexual relations and uses propaganda for such relations.
In fact, one of the cultural principles of the capitalist system is to lift the moral limits that exist among the members of a society in having sexual relations. This issue is being highly propagandized by the media and film production companies in Hollywood. As a result, a great number of sexual assault is committed and the number of rapes hikes in the U.S. and other capitalist countries. At the same time these figures are much lower where moral security is higher due to the religious framework that the majority of the people respect.
Maybe the time has come for the Americans to add their cultural needs into the cart along with their economic demands.
