Inside Story - The silent victims of rape

Hundreds of thousands of men have been raped by other men, but it is such a taboo subject that few are aware of the real extent of the problem. So, what support and legal resources need to be given to the victims of this crime?

@AsianBrotherhood1781 Rape is not normal ever. Not during war, not during peace, not during anything. Explain to me how you think rape helps win a war.

Rape is a powerful tool in war, because it erodes the mind of the victim and the perpetrators know this. It shatters their self-image and wipes their identity clean, ready to accept new definitions e.g. worthless human beings, which is reflected in their self-hate. It is absolutely disgusting and i would support a motion for all convicted rapists (of men or women) to be put on death row, whether they're soldiers or priests. God knows they deserve worse.

It's sad. No one, whether it's male or female, young or old deserves to be rape. It's disgusting.

this goes on in the world. because in the us. and other countries.the N-o-w AND THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE GROUPS. HIDE MALE ABUSES. BY PUSHING THAT ONLY FEMALE S GET ABUSED. BUT ALL NUMBERS SAY THEY ARE LIERS. AND FRAUD.AND ALL THE MONIES THEY GET SHOULD STOP. AND GO TO A NEW GROUP THAT WILL HELP BOTH MALE AND FEMALES. AND BE MADE TO STOP THESE FRAUD GROUPS FROM SPREADING LIES . ABOUT THE REAL NUMBERS. OF FEMALE ABUSERS AND MALES THAT ARE ABUSED AND OR RAPED. ALSO FROM IN PRISONS. IN THE USA.

@SanguineBullet667 This is actually very much related to feminism. Patriarchy oppresses men as well as women. They have to spend so much time fitting the role of being "big and strong" that many aren't able to admit they have been victimized in any way. Also once people understand the potential of women they will realize that female to male rape is very possible and does happen.

@thehermione86 look up manwomanmyth youtuber and receive an education.

[thehermione86]

@SanguineBullet667 quite the contrary, as a feminist i am really concerned about ALL people who are survivors of rape. rape destroys ALL human beings and males suffer sometimes even more today in silence because the taboo of a raped male human being is still so strong. so i am gratefull that aljazeera is reporting on this subject!! so don't buy in to the stereotype of "the feminist" please. :)

Yikes. I am a director of RINJ dot Org. We will take a closer look at this issue and invite input on our Facebook Page. \Rape.Is.No.Joke

@OneHappyRooster Because they spun the issue into a woman's one. DERP

[OneHappyRooster]

@SanguineBullet667 Which is why I was linked to this video via a feminist group of 17,000 subscribers, right?

The woman in the pink wool shirt..... is full of absolute shit. She didnt directly answer any of the questions given to her or the problems they asked her about. She just spewed a whole roll of red tape bullshit to get you lost in the 'paperwork' so it woud pass you by that what that guy is saying is true -----> Even the UN absolutely fails in helping male rape victims.

how did this bitch try to turn this into a woman's/feminist issue? fuckoff!
