PRESENTED TO: PROF. POONAM PANJABI PRESENTED BY: SHETH HETAL D. (2001)

CASE

Provocative Dresses are reason for vulnerable situation.

Clothes showcased on ramp can be hardly worn by an average woman.

Detrimental effect of fashion shows on spectators.

Creation of voyeuristic tendencies in

men.

In turn they pounce upon the unwary

hapless women.

Film stars are safe from molestation but

not d common lady.

An actor sends subliminal message

through advertisement which tunes their

minds to viewing woman as only sex

Before 40-50 years there were rare

cases of rapes the reason behind it is the

clothing.

If the current scenario will be like this

then we can imagine what the girls will

wear in future.

MYTHS AND REALITIES ABOUT RAPE

Myth Someone who gets raped usually deserves it, especially if the person agrees to be alone in his/her date's house or parked car. If someone agrees to allow his/her date to pay for dinner, drinks, etc., then it means the date is owed sex.

Reality No one deserves to be raped. Being in your date's house or car does not mean that you've agreed to have sex. Sex is not an implied payback for dinner or other expense, no matter how much money has been spent

MYTH Acquaintance rape is committed by men who are easy to identify as rapists. Victims who don't fight back haven't been raped.

REALITY Rape is committed by "normal" acquaintances who seem to be "regular guys. Rape occurs when someone is forced to have sex against her/his will, whether he/she has decided to fight back or not.

MYTH

REALITY

Intimate kissing or certain kinds of touching mean that intercourse is inevitable. Once a man reaches a certain point of arousal, sex is inevitable, and he can't help forcing himself on a woman. Most people lie about acquaintance rape because they have regrets after

Everyone's right to say "no" should be honored, regardless of the activity which preceded it. Men are capable of exercising restraint in acting upon sexual urges.

Acquaintance rape really happens -- to people you know, by people you know.

MYTH

REALITY

Women who say "no" really mean "yes Certain behaviors such as drinking or dressing in a sexually appealing way make rape the victim's responsibility.

This belief is based on rigid, outdated sexual stereotypes. Drinking or dressing in a sexually appealing way are not invitations for sex.

CONCLUSION

FORCE IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE.

All people are responsible for controlling their

sexual desires.

NO ONE should ever have sexual intercourse if he or she is uncomfortable or pressured.

Sexual pressure and exploitation involves both males and females.
