"Rape is a crime even more horrifying than it first appears, because it is so commonly deployed as a tool for legalized/legitimized torture. Rape is a method of enforcing domination in the abuse of children. Rape is a campaign of tribal vengeance when used as a “weapon of war.” Rape may be religiously sanctioned, as in “honor rape.” Rape is a program to enslave the vulnerable — from the dragooning of “comfort women” to the pimps at every bus terminal awaiting the arrival of runaways. Rape is a pretext to reinforce racial oppression, such as the trials of the Scottsboro boys … it has always been a major force for evil, and will never stop until *we* stop it." Andrew Vachss an attorney whose clients are only children.
How can we stop it?
