Trauma of a rape victim

The recent gang rape of two girls again proves how hapless women are in our society. I was really upset to see The Daily Star report that a victim's mother broke down in tears because society was blaming her daughter for the sad incident. She said her daughter's life was finished. Our society's attitude towards rape victims is so shameful. They have to face so much harassment by society which increases their trauma.
