I think 2S It's seen as a bad stereotype the way she talked about it , but i can see what she means if she's saying these horrible crimes happen alot in these countries . We know there's alot of crimes in places where there's lack of authority /justice . Especially places of poverty .

Totally, GH. Plus cultural reasons like the strength of patriarchy where women are simply not asked for permission. Like we had in the 50s or even later.

All rape is bad. I'd like to see the numbers for the rest of the world too, to see it in context. How African numbers compare to Europe, Asia etc
And I'd like to see some analysis of reasons behind numbers.
So that we can understand the problem better rather than rely on the shock value alone and in isolation.

No.

Maybe a form of sexual assault but not rape.
