Dear Bright Okpocha (aka Basket Mouth),
I
am a very good fan of your comedy show including my husband and kids, I
would rather have spoken to you over the phone or make time to see you
face to face, but as it is the season of open letter in Nigeria, I would
like to use this medium to express how disappointed I am over your
comment or joke as you may call it on “Rape”.
First let me try to
educate you about the meaning of Rape, maybe you did not check your
dictionary for the meaning or you don’t have one at home.
Rape is a
type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is
initiated by one or more persons against another without any consent.
The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of
authority or against a person who is incapable of valid consent, such as
one who is unconscious, incapacitated, or below the legal age of
consent. The term rape is sometimes used interchangeably with the term
sexual assault.
Rape and sexual slavery are recognized as crimes
against humanity and war crimes. Rape is also recognized as an element
of the crime of genocide when committed with the intent to destroy, in
whole or in part, a targeted ethnic group.
People who have been
raped can be severely traumatized and may suffer from post traumatic
stress disorder; in addition to psychological harm resulting from the
act, rape may cause physical injury, or have additional effects on the
victim, such as acquiring of a sexually transmitted infection or
becoming pregnant. Furthermore, following a rape, a victim may face
violence or threats thereof from the rapist, and, in some cultures, from
the victim’s own family and relatives. More about rape and its effect
of victims can be obtained for free from the Encyclopaedia.
