China is one of the strictest countries when it comes to rape
punishments. The punishment is death sentence. Sometimes, rapists are punished
by mutilation of their genitals, and eventually, death. The problem, however,
is that victims of rape often remain silent in China. The reason is simple,
traditional culture holds “being raped a shameful act”. Suffice to say, rape is
still a taboo topic in Chinese culture with victims being rejected by the
society.
The laws against rape have been criticized. There are weaknesses
in the legal system that allow rapist to escape justice. For example, same sex
rape became illegal in 2015. Before that, same sex rape was legal. In 2015,
China made another step towards better rape justice. Sex with under aged women
(women under 14 years) was reclassified as rape. No matter whether underage
women were prostitutes or not, it was still a rape, punishable by death
sentence.
