What is the “normalisation” or “trivialisation” of rape? It’s being faced by bored unresponsive members of the police force when trying to report a rape. It’s getting reprimanded by health workers for encouraging the rape. It’s pleading with police to go out and make an arrest when one knows where the rapist is. It’s finding out that the dockets relating to the case gain been “lost”. If one is lucky enough to net to a courtroom,it’s observing the accused (sometimes more than one) giggling in the dock, looking smug and waving at their friends. Finally, or it is often an acquittal of the rapist,as proof of non-consensuality cannot be established. I don’t reflect trivialisation is a political cartoon applying a powerful visual analogy - a practice which has been used repeatedly for centuries. By STACEY STENT.
