Why do Somalis shame rape victims? They isolate the victim, espicially the older generations. They will go as far as blaming the victim and protecting the rapist.

I was recently told back in the days, when a geeljiire rapes a girl, the poor girl would be ostracized, to the point the victim would run away and form a new identity.

The Somali older generation are really shitty people.

Well yeah that is an established fact. The older generation also did the whole female genital mutilation thingy. So what do you expect from such jaahil people.

Somali's keep taking L's because we use South Asian and Arab culture as a standard.


Not as an standard but as an example they still hold on too shaming theyre victims while for Somalis its the old generation that see no fault in shaming while the new generation is againts it

So no we aint as bad as the Pakis and asians
 
they will go as far as compensation thats about it

I don't have time right now, but I will show you evidence from a book written on the issue in Somalia. Actually, most of the pressure will be exerted on the Rapist to marry her in-case a pregnancy materialises because in most cases, the victim is illiterate and poor and can't handle a child on her own. Furthermore, the stigma attached to having a child out of wedlock is unbearable for her. It happens mate.

It's true though...

:childplease: it's not true! Where would she go? Please don't talk about things you have no clue of, the only aspect where running away is involved in our culture is eloping. Kulaha rape victim is running to where exactly? Do you think she'll find a safe haven anywhere other than her family's?

What they did was, if there was a rape, the victim would be wed off to the rapist so people wouldn't say the family had an illegitimate child. And that's wrong. :camby:
