Womes's Rights Regarding Rape

            
             All women should have the right not to be raped.
             strongly feel that the act of rape is violating the human .
             rights of women for three reasons. First, besides being a .
             traumatic experience, rape can result in an unwanted .
             pregnancy. Second, many rape victims also have to deal with.
             exposure to a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. .
             Third, I feel that all women should have the same right as .
             men to protect their bodies from the act of rape.
             Unwanted Pregnancies.
             Although the act of rape can produce several outcomes, .
             I think that one of the most important is unwanted .
             pregnancies. Not only are the women exposed to the .
             traumatic experience of being raped but some also have to .
             carry it with them for at least nine months. Furthermore, a.
             woman who makes the decision to keep the child will have a.
             daily reminder of being forced to do something that she .
             didn't want to do. In the book Human Rights, Hillary Rodham.
             Clinton states "It is a violation of human rights when .
             individual women are raped and when thousands of women are .
             subjected to rape." (49). I strongly agree that rape is a .
             human rights violation. Although I feel that rape is a .
             violation of a woman's human rights, it is an extremely .
             affective way to control women.
             Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
             Many rape victims also have to deal with exposure to.
             sexually transmitted diseases. I feel that enough women are.
             exposed to sexually transmitted diseases without being .
             forced to participate in sexual acts. Sexually transmitted.
             diseases can be classified into three categories: those that .
             can be treated, those that are not curable but can be .
             treated, and those that are life threatening. An example of.
             a sexually transmitted disease that can be treated is .
             gonorrhea. An example of a sexually transmitted disease .
             that is not curable but can be treated is genital herpes. .
             An example of a sexually transmitted disease that is life.
             threatening is AIDS. In a sense the act of rape can also.
