Transcript

00:00Rape is happening all over the place.

00:01Rape is not just the narrow domain of sex without consent.

00:07You also have to look at the nature of consent.

00:09If the consent is out of fear or greed, the act ought to be called as rape.

00:16I can extract consent from somebody by terrorizing that person and there would be consent.

00:22And this terrorization need not always be very visible or crude or open or conscious.

00:28If the woman knows that she will be homeless, shelterless and moneyless,

00:32if she refuses consent, the consent will come.

00:35The woman herself might not know where the consent is coming from.

00:39The consent is coming from her fear.

00:41That is rape.
