On January 14, 2012, hundreds of people defied the rain and took to the streets of Beirut to protest against rape.
Protesters marched from Sanayeh to Riad El Solh square in Downtown Beirut, where security officers cordoned off the area to prevent them from reaching the Lebanese Parliament.
The march was organized by the Beirut-based feminist collective Nasawiya.

Survivors of rape, supported by UNICEF and VDay, held a day of speeches telling their stories and calling for an end to violence against women. The courage of the women to tell their stories in front of three hundred people was palpable.
A rape alarm to protect university students on their way home in Japan. Japan is one of the safe-est places in the world for a woman to walk about, partly because they don't.
Alternatively it may be the case that Japan is in fact quite dangerous, but that many Japanese women who are molested do not report their molestation to the police.
Judging by personal testemony, sex offences such as the theft of underwear and molesting in the form of fondling are quite common.

(Dallas, TX – July 24, 2014) A 57-year old Dallas man falsely convicted of sexual assault will be exonerated as a result of systematic DNA testing by a district attorney’s office, even though he was not actively proclaiming his innocence or requesting DNA testing. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, this is the first time in the United States an exoneration of this nature has occurred.
Mr. Michael Phillips, an African-American, served 12 years in prison after pleading guilty in 1990 for raping a 16-year-old Caucasian girl at a Dallas motel where both of them lived. Mr. Phillips says his defense attorney told him not to risk going to trial – fearing a jury would not side with a black man accused of raping a white girl who picked Mr. Phillips out of a photo line- up.
However, Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins’ ongoing project of reviewing untested rape kits without defendants initiating the request revealed Mr. Phillips was innocent. DA Watkins signed off on this proactive screening project, which tests DNA preserved by the Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences. The Dallas area crime lab tested sexual assault kits from the year 1990 that met certain criteria, which paved the way for Mr. Phillips’ exoneration.
“Mr. Phillips is very lucky that we tested rape kits from the year in which the heinous crime took place,” said Craig Watkins. There was no DNA profile from Mr. Phillips to compare to the profile derived from the semen found in the rape kit, because in 1990 DNA samples were not routinely collected from sexual assault suspects as they are now. The semen found in the rape kit was put into the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System, which identified Lee Marvin Banks as the real perpetrator. Mr. Banks also lived at the same motel where the 1990 rape took place. “DNA tells the truth, so this was another case of eyewitness misidentification where one individual’s life was wrongfully snatched and a violent criminal was allowed to go free. We apologize to Michael Phillips for a criminal justice system that failed him,” said Mr. Watkins.
Michael Phillips’ case will become the 34th exoneration by the Dallas DA’s Conviction Integrity Unit. The exoneration hearing is scheduled on July 25, 2014 at 9 a.m. CST at the Frank Crowley Courts Building in Criminal District Court 3. Mr. Phillips is in a wheel chair due to his fight with sickle cell anemia, but he is looking forward to his day in court.
“I never imagined I would live to see my name cleared. Six of my siblings died from the same disease, so I thank God for sustaining me in prison. I always told everyone I was innocent and now people will finally believe me,” said Mr. Phillips.”
The exoneration would not have been possible without the assistance of Samuel Gross, Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School and Editor of the National Registry of Exonerations, and Professor Colin Starger of the University of Baltimore School of Law. Both professors worked without compensation under the supervision of the Dallas County Conviction Integrity Unit to test the untested sexual assault kits.
“On one hand this was like finding a needle in a haystack because Michael Phillips had given up on pressing his claim of innocence, but on the other hand this was a methodical approach that can be replicated nationwide. Untested rape kits should not just sit on a shelf and collect dust. The exoneration continues to expose the past weakness in our criminal justice system,” said Mr. Watkins.
Mr. Phillips was released from prison in 2002, but failure to register as a sex offender landed him back in jail for six months. It’s been one hurdle after another – not being able to find a place to live or get a job. He now lives in a nursing home, but that could soon change. The State of Texas awards an exoneree $80,000 for each year of wrongful conviction.
