My opinion-
Rape is one of the worst crime done by human beings, it is not against an
individual but against the whole humanity. So, this type of crime must stop to
make a idle society. We must change our mind sets and make our society saver
for females. The rapist must be punished so that this type of crime shall not take
place again and we can give a safe environment to our females and make a
better society.
