Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - RE: On Nigeria Rape Culture

We compare because the NYT is a US publication that chose to give a misleading title to sufferings in Nigeria where rape is less of a culture than in the US; and yet NYT is less likely to publish an article with that title about the US. We compare because Nigerians and US residents are both human beings and the vast majority detest and oppose rape as something that is not part of our culture of our struggles against domination. We compare to emphasize that even with all the policing technologies, the US still struggles with more than 700,000 cases per year and out of 1000 cases tried, only 5 get convictions for rape in the US. We compare to indicate that prevention is better than conviction, education for awareness and prevention is always more effective than prosecution especially when most attackers are known to the victimized.

Why compare? That is beside the point!
