Please, tell me how you can make a claim that "it's an order of magnitude worse".
I grew up in India. I had a decent number of Indian women as friends, who were close enough that they'd tell me very personal details. Not one of them ever mentioned being assaulted to me.
I then moved to the US. And about 1 in 5 women I've come to know have told me that they were assaulted. This ties in well with the official statistics[1], which works to roughly 500,000 women being raped per year.
On the other side, here's a news article claiming that ~34,000 women were raped in India in 2015 [2]. In a country with ~500 million women, that's a pretty small number (with the caveat that even 1 rape is 1 too many, in my view).
So please, enlighten us with where you got your "order of magnitude more" number from.
It's an order of magnitude worse because we don't have "indias daughter" types of barbaric savage animalistic rapes/torture/murders occurring almost with shocking frequency.
The level of barbarism inflicted on women in India during acts of rape is chilling. Like Isis levels of savagery.
That's how it's an order of magnitude worse.
And rarely is anyone charged let alone convicted for such brutality.
