KLEINMOND, South Africa - A South African inventor unveiled a new anti-rape female condom on Wednesday that hooks onto an attackers penis and aims to cut one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world.
Nothing has ever been done to help a woman so that she does not get raped and I thought it was high time, Sonette Ehlers, 57, said of the "rapex," a device worn like a tampon that has sparked controversy in a country used to daily reports of violent crime.
Police statistics show more than 50,000 rapes are reported every year, while experts say the real figure could be four times that as they say most rapes of acquaintances or children are never reported.
Ehlers said the rapex hooks onto the rapists skin, allowing the victim time to escape and helping to identify perpetrators.
He will obviously be too pre-occupied at this stage, Ehlers told reporters in Kleinmond, a small village about 60 miles east of Cape Town. I promise you he is going to be too sore. He will go straight to hospital.
The device, made of latex and held firm by shafts of sharp barbs, can only be removed from the man through surgery which will alert hospital staff, and ultimately, the police, she said.
It also reduces the chances of a woman falling pregnant or contracting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases from the attacker by acting in the same way as a female condom.
Owwwww! Not that they wouldn't deserve it, but... ow ow ow!
There is some concern over whether this will incite violence against women that use it, since rapists don't always attack alone. What do you guys think?
