Military rapes in civilian courts

vendredi 2 juillet 2021 à 02:00

South Korea wants rapes committed against soldiers to be tried in civilian courts, because they are more likely to convict rapists.

Women's suicides after being raped suggest to me that patriarchal (Confucian) values, according to which rape destroys a woman's purity and calls for her (rather than the rapist) to feel shame, still have power in South Korea. If so, the solution should include confronting and rejecting those values.
