Four Indians rape a woman on a Barcelona beach
The victim is a 50-year-old woman who met her attackers in a bar and it appears they drugged her.
The Barcelona City Police have arrested four men of Indian nationality for the alleged sexual assault of a woman on Barceloneta Beach. The incident occurred in the early hours of this Saturday, when a member of the public alerted a police patrol to a group of men who were allegedly assaulting a woman on the sand.
As they approached the scene, the officers observed that three of the individuals were attempting to flee, while a fourth was on top of the victim carrying out the assault. The woman exhibited symptoms of being under the influence of some kind of sedative substance. The detainees are aged between 21 and 34. The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) took the victim to the Hospital Clínic, the referral centre for the care of victims of sexual assault in Barcelona.
Rape culture in India: a deep-rooted problem
This incident highlights the problem of rape culture in India, where sexual violence against women is an endemic problem. According to 2021 data, more than 31,000 cases of rape were reported in the country, with an average of one woman being assaulted every 16 minutes. Furthermore, it is estimated that 77% of women who have experienced physical or sexual violence do not tell anyone, which makes it difficult to prosecute the perpetrators.
