2015年1月2日，新德里，被指控強姦的Uber出租車司機的妻子和她的律師走出法院。警方表示，去年新德里被曝光的強姦案數量上升了近三分之一，這一數字爲印度首都針對女性的性犯罪程度敲響了警鐘。

巴特那，印度——印度警方日前逮捕了3名印度人，警方週五稱，此3人在印度東部一個佛教聖地附近輪姦了一名22歲的印度研究員。警方現在正在搜查另外兩名據說也參與了輪姦的印度男性。而據警官艾克雷士·辛格所說，那位日本女性此前被囚禁在巴特那以南130千米外的菩提伽耶將近三個星期之久。（譯註：菩提伽耶，又稱菩提道場、佛陀伽耶、摩訶菩提、菩提場，爲佛陀成正覺之地，是佛教的誕生地。據經典記載，佛陀經歷六年苦行之後，行至此地，於畢鉢羅樹下之金剛座上結跏趺坐，證悟十二因緣、四諦法等，而得正覺，故畢鉢羅樹又稱菩提樹，即‘覺樹'之意。）

India has a longhistory of tolerance of sexual violence. But a series of high-profile rapecases have triggered a strong public outrage in recent years, leading to toughanti-rape while on Friday,Reuters reported that the driver of the U.S.-based ride-sharing service, Uber,appeared in a New Dehli courtroom after a woman accused him of raping her.

印度性暴力性虐待之歷史源遠流長，但近年來如此引人注目的強姦案件引發了公衆強烈的憤怒，人們要求出臺更嚴厲的反強姦法律。與此同時，據路透社報道，本週五Uber出租車強姦案的嫌犯也出現在了新德里的法院上。

India has doubledprison terms for rapists to 20 years and criminalized voyeurism, stalking andthe trafficking of women. The law also makes it a crime for officers to refuseto open cases when complaints are made.A 16-year-old girl,who preferred not to use her name, told CBS News how she was gang raped in 2012by eight of her neighbors, who filmed the attack on a cell phone. Her fatherwas so ashamed he committed suicide.

印度已經將對強姦犯的徒刑加倍到了20年，並將窺陰、跟蹤和買賣婦女都列爲非法。印度法律同時也將警方接到報案而不立案定位非法。一位不願透露姓名的16歲少女告訴哥倫比亞廣播公司，她在2012年被8名鄰居輪姦了，他們還用手機拍下了輪姦的過程。她的父親受不了如此奇恥大辱，於是自殺了。

How did she find thecourage to speak out?"I come from aneducated family and I understand these things," she said. "Many othergirls are too frightened, but I went to the police."

但她將這些說出來了，她的勇氣從何而來呢？“我來自一個受過良好教育的家庭，所以我能理解這些事，”她說道，“許多女孩太過害怕，但是我報案了。”
