Rape is the fourth most common serious crime in India and can happen to anyone regardless of gender, age, or sexuality. According to Krishna Iyer, A rapist robs a victim of their autonomy over their sexuality and physical integrity, which destroys the victim's soul. Gender theory argues that individuals actively shape their own gender identity and can embody various masculinities and femininities. Allard, Cooper, Hildebrand & Wetlands assert that individuals are active in selecting dimensions of gender rather than being passively shaped by societal forces. The United Nations General Assembly's Resolution 48/104 declares violence against women as a violation of human rights and Article 7 of the Rome Statute considers rape an offense against humanity.
