T. G. - Rape is generally understood to involve sexual penetration of a person by force and/or without that person's consent. Rape is committed overwhelmingly by men and boys, usually against women and girls, and sometimes against other men and boys. I think modern definition of rape laws consider rape as a gender-neutral assault on individual autonomy, likening it to other forms of assault and/or illegitimate appropriation, and focusing primarily on the harm that rape does to individual victims. However, it does not recognize rape as an important pillar of patriarchy. Patriarchy as a social system in which men disproportionately occupy positions of power and authority, central norms and values are associated with manhood and masculinity (which in turn are defined in terms of dominance and control), and men are the primary focus of attention in most cultural spaces. It also does not see rape as arising from patriarchal constructions of gender and sexuality within the context of broader systems of male power.

Rape as a criminal offense is punishable under national law. But our present day provides us with examples that show that this type of crime goes beyond national borders. An example of this is the actions of peacekeeping forces in the Republic of Congo where military or civilian members of peacekeepers commit crimes such as sexual exploitation of children and rape. For example, in a report by a New York Times reporter handed over by the Democratic Republic of Congo, where MONUC peacekeepers acted, it was reported: "At the corner of the tent, where she says a soldier has forced her, Helen, tender, fifth-class, with large eyes and skinny legs, remembers seeing a blue helmet. . . . In the same eastern post, another UN peacemaker, unable to communicate with the talking Swahili, a 13-year-old girl who passed past him, picked up a cookie and motioned for her to approach. Since Solange, the girl who told the incident the next day with tears in her eyes, reached for the cookie, the soldier reached for her. She also said she was raped. " That is why I think that the modernization of the law on rape is imperative.

Although this problem is very important, do you think this is the proper forum to talk about it? This is what I consider very stupid thing to do!
