Sexual violence is defined as any sexual act or an attempt to obtain a sexual act by violence or coercion, acts to traffic a person or acts directed against a person's sexuality, unwanted sexual comments or advances, regardless of the relationship to the victim.
3 reasons why I think it is important to encourage reporting sexual violence.
It is important that the cases of sexual violence and related cases should be reported without considering it a taboo on the victim and family. This is important as it will aid in getting the person committing crime to be punished and shall enable the effective steps to be taken to prevent the acts further. Also, strict and stringent laws can be framed in regard to the crime being committed. This would lead to increase in the awareness among people and shall give the confidence to the victim to report the case without any hesitation. The laws should be framed so as to provide emotional strength and stability to the person and the concerned family.
Reporting about the sexual violence cases enables the victim to gain emotional, physical and social strength in the society. This brings in the confidence to the victim enabling them to come forward and report as to thinking it as a crime and instead of taking blame on their part. It is important to relieve the victims of the fear and the torture they feel on their parts, and instead help in getting the criminal arrested for the heinous crime that they commit. The criminals should not be let free as this will lead to increased violence. Thus, it is essential that such cases are being reported without any second thought and hesitation. It should be a moral duty of the victim to report the case against the criminal so that any such case should not happen further and criminal is punished.
The individuals who face the harassment should report such cases in order to get justice and make the criminal punished so that a stop is being put on such violent acts. It is important to report so that the organisations working on helping such issues bring more awareness among the people and such acts can be minimised and stopped. Also, the reports and cases will not go unnoticed and awareness in proper way shall unite and bring people together to fight the evil in the society.
Thus, it is important duty of the victim, or the family, or the people to report of any such act of sexual violence so that the justice is served and criminals do not roam around freely in the market.
