♀️Hola bookstagrammers! How about a well-researched book that gives in-depth facts about the bone chilling crime against females?

♀️As the name suggests, this book talks about the crime that has shook the world over the years and tore every nerve of humanity — rape, and tries to decipher the various reasons behind it! The first part of the book talks about the patriarchal mindset of our society and its linking to present day crimes, sexual violence behaviour in some animals and marine species and how rape isn’t unique to humans alone!

♀️The next part recounts tormenting accounts by rape survivors. The author has also painstakingly interviewed rapists and included their confession. Kudos to the author for his part in trying to understand the mindset of offenders and presenting them to us with sufficient facts. Marital rape is another taboo topic discussed by the author here.

♀️ The author has also mentioned about prostitution and it’s legalisation, the trauma and stigma faced by the victims due to the late justice or no justice at all. This book is the need of the hour with skyrocketing rape cases everywhere. I liked that the source of researched facts are mentioned in every page. 

 “ᴅᴇᴀʀ ꜱᴏᴄɪᴇᴛʏ, ʏᴏᴜ ʙʟᴀᴍᴇᴅ ᴍᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ᴍʏ ᴄʟᴏᴛʜᴇꜱ, ʏᴏᴜ ʙʟᴀᴍᴇᴅ ᴍᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ᴍʏ ᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴꜱ,ʏᴏᴜ ʙʟᴀᴍᴇᴅ ᴍᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ꜱʜᴏᴡɪɴɢ ᴏꜰꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴇᴛᴛʏ ᴡɪɴɢꜱ,ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴏɴᴄᴇ ɢᴀᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴄᴏɴꜰɪᴅᴇɴᴄᴇ; ᴀᴘᴘᴀʀᴀɴᴛʟʏ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴍᴇ ᴍʏ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛᴇꜱᴛ ꜱɪɴ.”

♀️I felt a range of emotions while reading this book — crying while recounting a victim’s ordeal, anger while reading the rapist’s interview and pity for our justice system. This book is a highly recommended for everyone human out there and I would like to salute the author for writing on such a sensitive topic despite severe criticism!
