Things to do immediately you are raped


Recently, there has a series of unfortunate events surrounding gender predisposition called "rape" which has amassed a huge sense of public concerns.

Rape, act of sexual intercourse with an individual without his or her consent, through force or the threat of force. In many jurisdictions, the crime of rape has been subsumed under that of sexual assault, which also encompasses acts that fall short of intercourse. Rape was long considered to be caused by unbridled sexual desire, but it is now understood as a pathological assertion of power over a victim

If you ever get raped or hear, even know someone who is raped:

For justice, this is what you MUST do:

1. Do NOT bathe.

2. Do NOT change your cloths.

3. If the repist used a condom and you have it, do NOT destroy it.

4. Do NOT go to the Police FIRST.

5. Go to a hospital straight.

Let me explain why

On your body, in your cloths and inside that condom are very valuable DNA, skin and semen evidence that will help prove rape.

If you change your cloths,

If you bathe after,

If you discard the condom;

You destroy evidence that can be used to jail the rapist. Do not go to the Police first, go to a hospital immediately after the rape happens.

There is what we call RAPE KIT, the doctor can:

i. examine you

ii. can take precious samples of DNA and semen which can prove the case

iii. can record physical evidences of an assault and forced sexual encounter.

Do you get the logic now?

After you are done at the hospital, go to the Police immediately, you can then make a report.

But you must go to a hospital first so that even if you want to take some time to get over the trauma before involving the police, there is a hospital record and evidence intact. These remain the three correct steps to take after a rape incident.

1. Go straight to a Rape Support Centre (if in Lagos, go to Mirabel Centre).

2. Make a report at the Police Station.

3. And if you know who the abuser is, engage a lawyer immediately.The earlier, the better.

It is definitely not easy to think logically and immediately after such a horrible incident, that is why I am hoping you share and save all these steps on your Facebook timeline and other social media platforms now, so others can read and benefit too.

If you want to share, please click on the share button and share to your social media accounts!

But before you do so, like and drop your comments under this post, it will be very useful for analysis. God will bless you for doing so.
