Victimising the Victim

A rape victim expelled from school for being of ‘loose character’

According to reports, the victim was abducted and raped on August 23. Rejecting the rape theory, school authorities alleged that the girl had loose character and later expelled her.

NCW is protesting.

I would really like to know which state this happened in.

    i don’t know Charu – i am doing so many of this rape and discrimination posts on a weekly basis – in just the last few months – that i find my self going down this complete downward spiral.
    is it ok for women to be treated badly, and then blamed!
