SEXUAL ASSAULT AND RAPE 2.

-


In the Previous Episode of this topic, we talked briefly about sexual assault and rape, giving a brief explanation and statistics using the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOOVSU) of the Ghana Police Service and we promised to discuss further on what happens to rape victims and what does the Ghanaian Government don’t to put this act in check.


The effects of rape can include both the initial physical trauma as well asleep psychological trauma. Although rape victims commonly report injuries and issues with their-reproductive health after the sexual assault, the most common effects of rape involve mental health concerns and diminished social confidence.
Victim experience both short and long term psychological effects of rape. The most common consequence of rape is self-blame and other psychological effects of rape include:
-Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)- feeling of severe anxiety and stress.
-Flashbacks
-Sleep disorders
-Eating disorder
-Guilt of distrust of others
-Anger
-Feeling of personal powerlessness. 
AFTERMATH OF RAPE.

The aftermath of rape involves a cluster of chronic physical and psychological effects. Victim needs immediate and close care that will help them address the effects of rape as they become apparent whilst victims of extremely violent rape or those who were assaulted repeatedly or at a very young age, may need treatment for the rest of their lives.



PREVENTION.
-Trust your instincts, do not feel pressured to spend time alone with a person that makes you feel uncomfortable
-During visitation never leave your drink unattended, most time choose to drink water instead of alcohol
-know your sexual rights and establish physical and intimate boundaries from the start
-Use firm language if things start to go far. Stay close to friends. Watch out for them and ask them to watch out for you
-Don’t turn-up for every invitation
  In Ghana Sexual assault is a felony so know your place.

The Issue of Sexual assault and rape as grown rampant and grown bigger with time and it’s so sad to see people fall victim of such acts in the 21 st century. We will both be discussing about various sexual assault and rape that occur across the world. In a country in Africa as Ghana where rape occurs more frequently has it stated in the CRIMINAL OFFENCE ACT- 1960 (ACT29) SECTION 97- Whoever commits rape shall be guilty of a first degree felony and shall be liable on conviction to Imprisonment for a term of not less than five years and not more than twenty-five Years, before we drag deeply into this conversation, let’s walk through what sexual assault and what really is RAPE.

HATRED IN THE MIDST OF LOVE

HATRED IN THE MIDST OF LOVE.       I hope you will agree with me today, that in order to be deeply in love, there are things you will resent. You could think of various scenarios yourself. To love and cater for children deeply you must dislike any mistreatment or neglect that destroys or can stand as hindrance to them. If you love clear-headed kindness and respect, you have to hate alcoholism and drug addiction. If you love freedom, you have to hate slavery and totalitarianism.                The reason I start with this survey is because I am about to tell you something God hates, and I know the word hate itself has a complete negative ring to it. But I want you to realize from the very beginning that God's hatred is the reflex of his love. The only reason someone should hate or despise anything is because it replaces or ruins something beautiful and wonderful. Hatred should always stand in the service of love. If...
