Yes it is actually. The number one place that women are raped in India is when they go out into the fields to defecate. Women are required to go out with another woman to try and prevent attacks. Getting toilets into Indian villages has reduced rape. |

"The number one place that women are raped in India is when they go out into the fields to defecate." Now if they could just do something to reduce the rape problem on planes, trains, busses, streets, work, school, etc. |
