Summary
In this video that CNN has on broadcast, it shows the devastating story of one of the thousands of rape victims. When the war between the Tutsi's and the Hutu broke out twenty years ago it was 100 days of massacre and rape. The Tutsi raided the Hutu villages slaughtering all of the men and raping the young girls and women. A lot of these men had STD's and knew that they were positive for them. They would cover their faces and purposely rape women to give them an STD. The woman who was interviewed in particular was sixteen when she was raped. She now has to take medicine every day because she has HIV/Aids. It can be a very painful and horrible disease. This disease has killed many and is very dangerous.
Analysis
Rape can be a deathly thing in many ways. STD's is just one of those slow and painful ways that it makes dealing with such an assault even harder. As I saw in the video, it has effected many women and will effect them for the rest of their life. It can make life seem unbearable and as the victim that was interview said, sometimes she wonders why she is even still alive. Rape can also cause thoughts of suicide, attempts, and actually going through with it. This is something that will never be erased from victims and shows how evil and horrible the world can be.
