Since the start of the pandemic last spring, Asian Americans have faced racist violence at a much higher rate than previous years. The NYPD reported that hate crimes motivated by anti-Asian sentiment jumped 1,900% in New York City in 2020. Stop AAPI Hate, a reporting database created at the beginning of the pandemic as a response to the increase in racial violence, received 2,808 reports of anti-Asian discrimination between March 19 and December 31, 2020.

It is used as a disciplinary action to show the girls and guys what they should like. Rape in India is hardly talked about or reported in India, so it’s going take some time before something like ‘corrective rape’ is openly talked about.
