印度首都一名少女報稱遭集體性侵後，數百人上街抗議

新德里，9月23日（路透社）——一名少女表示，本週她在印度首都一座公園遭3名假扮警察的男子集體性侵後，數百名學生週三在德里抗議，要求改善女性安全。NEW DELHI, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Hundreds of students protested in Delhi on Wednesday, demanding better safety for women, after a teenager said she had been gang-raped by three men posing as police officers at a park in the national capital this week.

資深警官維傑・庫馬爾（Vijay Kumar）在這名17歲少女報案稱遭侵犯後告訴記者，警方週二開槍射傷並逮捕一名嫌疑人，並正在訊問另外兩人；這兩人是兄弟。Police shot and caught one suspect on Tuesday and were questioning two more, who were brothers, senior police officer Vijay Kumar told reporters after the 17-year-old reported the assault.

週三晚間，抗議者在案發現場附近街道遊行，手持標語牌、高喊口號，要求保障安全。抗議者多為女性，其中數人戴著口罩。Protesters, most of them female and several wearing face masks, held placards and shouted slogans while marching on the streets near the crime scene on Wednesday evening, demanding safety.

部分標語牌寫著「我們的身體屬於我們自己」，另一些則要求能在夜間無懼外出的自由。"Our body is our own," some placards said, while others demanded freedom to go out at night without fear.

印度難以降低性暴力INDIA HAS STRUGGLED TO REDUCE SEXUAL VIOLENCE

據稱這起侵犯事件發生地點距離拉姆夫人學院（Lady Shri Ram College，LSR）僅2公里（1.2英里）。該校是印度頂尖女子學院之一；嫌疑人在距離校園數公尺處遭警方開槍後，學校週二停課。The alleged assault occurred barely 2 km (1.2 miles) from Lady Shri Ram (LSR) College, one of the country's top colleges for women, which suspended classes on Tuesday after the suspect was shot metres away from its campus.

一名不願具名的學院職員告訴路透社：「槍擊後有些學生感到恐慌，因此我們決定在中午左右停課。」"Some students were panicking after the shooting so we decided to suspend classes around noon," a college official, who did not want to be named, told Reuters.

當地媒體報導，LSR校長卡妮卡・K・阿胡賈（Kanika K Ahuja）表示，校方得知此事後取消課程，並補充說，學生的「安全、保障與福祉」對學校而言「至關重要」。LSR Principal Kanika K Ahuja said classes were cancelled after college authorities came to know about the incident, adding that the "safety, security, and well-being" of students was "paramount" to the institution, local media reported.

當地媒體報導引述因這起事件遭訊問的兩兄弟之父說法稱，他們是被誣陷的。路透社無法立即確認被捕嫌疑人如何回應相關指控。The father of the two brothers questioned over the incident was cited in a local media report as saying they had been framed. Reuters was not immediately able to establish how the arrested suspect had responded to the charges.

性暴力是印度全國重大問題；根據國家犯罪紀錄局（National Crime Records Bureau）資料，每天向警方通報的強暴案超過80起。Sexual violence is a major issue across India, with more than 80 rapes reported to police every day, according to data from the National Crime Records Bureau.

倡議人士表示，還有更多侵犯案件未被通報，因為受害者經常遭到責怪與羞辱。Many more assaults go unreported because victims are often blamed and shamed, activists say.

2012年，德里一名學生遭集體性侵，引發大規模抗議，最終促成全面法律改革，包括對定罪者加重刑罰及設立速審法院。The gang-rape of a student in Delhi in 2012 triggered massive protests that culminated in sweeping legal reforms, including more severe punishment for those convicted and fast-track courts.

然而，這些改革對改善印度性暴力統計數字幾乎沒有作用。分析人士表示，在這個國家，根深柢固的父權體制、警力不足，以及司法延宕，使許多加害者相信自己可以逃避懲罰。The reforms have, however, done little to improve statistics on sexual violence in the country, where analysts say deep-seated patriarchy, understaffed police forces, and judicial delays leave many perpetrators believing they can escape punishment.
