The day is March 1, 2024. As the sun slowly sets and night falls, Fernanda and Vincent find what they consider to be a relatively quiet and safe place on the outskirts of Dumka district in Jharkhand and prepare to camp there for the night, as there is a police station nearby, which makes them feel safe and reassured.
Fernanda is 35 years old, originally Brazilian, who came to Spain after marrying Vincent, while her husband Vincent, who is Spanish, is about 60 years old this year, and the age gap has not affected the couple's marriage and affection. What's more, they share a common hobby, both of whom are bloggers who have traveled more than 170,000 kilometers to more than 60 countries. At present, the number of fans on ins has reached 160,000, and there are many fans on other platforms, adding up to more than 300,000.
At the same time, the two are also ambassadors for the KLIM motorcycle brand. This trip to India was sponsored by KLIM motorcycles. According to the plan, they were scheduled to travel through Bihar the next day and head east to Nepal.
At around 8 p.m. that night, a group of local men broke into their tent. Vincent angrily asks the uninvited guests to leave, but is beaten by them. They put a knife around Vincent's neck and threatened to kill him. Fernanda was held down by the rest of the men, unable to move his hands and feet. She watched in horror as her husband was beaten, and at the same time despaired of the atrocities she was about to suffer.
In the next few hours, Fernanda was subjected to unimaginable torture and **. She was assaulted by seven men, and it all happened in front of her husband's eyes. Vincent was forced to witness his beloved wife suffer so much pain and humiliation, but was unable to help because the knife was held around his neck. The couple spent that long night in extreme fear and pain.
When it was all over and they finally had a chance to escape, it was already early in the morning. They stopped a patrol car and were taken to the hospital. The results of the medical examination confirmed that Fernanda had indeed been assaulted and that she had been bruised on her face.
Vincent's teeth were broken and he suffered multiple injuries on his body. In the hospital, the two hugged each other and cried. They had been to countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh before, and they had been treated with kindness by the locals, but in India they had such a terrible experience.
This incident immediately caused a huge repercussion in Indian society. People expressed shock and anger and strongly condemned the seven suspects.
India** also took the case very seriously, immediately launched an investigation, and quickly identified three suspects. After intense tracking and manhunting, the three suspects were successfully detained, and the other four suspects at large are being pursued in an all-out way.
In the aftermath of the incident, Fernanda and Vincent decided to stand up and face it all. They posted a ** detailing the horrific experience that took place that night.
In **, Fernanda cries and says, "We have something happening that we don't want to happen to anyone. Seven men ** me, they beat us and robbed us. "
She also said: "Shame! Indians treat foreigners as if they were their own women. Shameful on a corrupt society. ”
She hopes that through her own experience, more people will pay attention to ** crime.
This paragraph quickly went viral on social media, sparking attention and discussion around the world. Expressions of sympathy and support for Fernanda and Vincent have also raised questions about social security and women's safety in India.
According to India's National Criminal Records Bureau (NCRB), there were an average of 77** cases per day in India in 2020 and a total of 28,046 such incidents throughout the year. This figure is down 12 from 32,033 in 20194%。However, this does not fully reflect the real situation, as many victims are reluctant to report it out of fear, shame, or other reasons. Some studies estimate that the actual number of ** cases in India may be as high as 2 million per year. In addition, the conviction rates in India** and ** are as low as 39 per cent and 41 per cent, respectively, indicating a clear problem with the efficiency and impartiality of the justice system in handling these cases.
In India, the occurrence of ** cases is closely related to its deep socio-cultural context. India is a patriarchal society where women are seen as burdens and inferior citizens from birth. India's caste system divides people into four classes, with the lowest class often experiencing discrimination and violence, and women at the bottom of the caste system. Hinduism is the main religion in India, and it has strict rules about the status and role of women, resulting in women being seen as appendages and possessions of men. In addition, India has cruel and backward marriage traditions, such as child marriage, dowry, and martyrdom, which deprive women of education, employment, and health opportunities, and increase their risk of violence and abuse.
The inefficiency and low conviction rate of India and the courts are also part of the problem when dealing with ** cases. For example, in 2020, India received a total of 81,846 cases, 43,063 cases were filed, and 519,589 cases were pending, but only 4,613 cases were convicted. In ** cases, despite more than 43,000 investigations opened, only 3,814 cases were found guilty by the courts.
These data and analysis show that India faces significant challenges in dealing with ** cases, including low conviction rates, the impact of socio-cultural contexts, and deficiencies in the justice system. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive social reforms and policy improvements.
