On Friday the 15th of March 2013, a Swiss girl was raped by several (possibly 7 or 8) Indian men, while her boyfriend was tied to a tree. This act of violence is not standing alone.
Through the past years, there have been many acts of (group) rapes in India. Rape is a direct violation against the human rights, and therefore it should be strictly prohibited.
The Indian government is not taking enough action against it. That’s why the rapes still continue. Therefore the United Nations should make sure the Indian government is going to take action.

Rape is a direct violation against the human rights, and therefore it should be strictly prohibited. It is a violation against article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which gives every human the right to security of person. While India is a State party of the declaration, the government does not do its best to stop this violation against the human rights.
Therefore we, the undersigned, call on the United Nations, institute of world peace and human rights, to make sure the Indian government will take proper action against this crime. Because in a world where every human should have human rights, there can be no place for violent and cruel manners such as rape.
Sincerely,
