| 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. [1] http://www.nsvrc.org/sites/default/files/publications_nsvrc_...
