“This is the 18-year-old girl that was gang raped weeks back in Narayi. The rapists haven’t been charged to court and look like her folks plan to accept payments. No amount can pay for this damage. It’s OUR duty to ensure there’s #JusticeForJennifer,”.

A rapist is a rapist. A person. Stop making rape seem like an act that’s exclusive to animals when we’ve clearly seen that humans are very capable of it. 5 men gang raped an 18 year old woman. They are men, not animals. #justiceforjennifer https://t.co/UskKu2eGIL

It is never okay to rape, or support rape and rapists in m any way. It is never the victim's fault, no matter the circumstances.
Let us join hands and stand firm against this societal menace, and teach future generations that no matter what, No means No!
