Rape-aXe: The Anti-Rape Condom

 Hi you there,  I not only supporting but also would like to see you all adopting this great idea, for your own sake!

                                        

 

Rape-aXe: The Anti-Rape Condom  IS THAT WHAT WE NEED IN SYRIA.....INDIA... EGYPT ?  Rape-aXe: The Anti-Rape Condom This is so brilliant! An anti-rape female condom invented by Sonette Ehlers. A South African woman working as a blood technician with  the South African Blood Transfusion Service,  during which time she met and treated many rape victims.  The device, known as The Rape-aXe, is a latex sheath embedded  with shafts of sharp, inward-facing microscopic barbs that would  be worn by a woman in her vagina like a tampon.  If an attacker were to attempt vaginal rape, their penis would enter  the latex sheath and be snagged by the barbs, causing the attacker pain  during withdrawal and (ideally) giving the victim time to escape.  The condom would remain attached to the attacker’s body when  he withdrew and could only be removed surgically,  which would alert hospital staff and police.  This device could assist in the identification and prosecution of rapists.  The anti-rape female condom South African inventor, Sonette Ehlers, demonstrates  her new anti-rape female condom in Cape Town.  Photo: Reuters  Dubbed the "rape trap", trademarked "Rapex", the condom-like device  bristling with internal hooks is designed to snare rapists   The device, concealed inside a woman's body, hooks onto a rapist during  penetration and must be surgically removed.  Ms Ehlers said the rape trap would be so painful for a rapist that it would  disable him immediately, enabling his victim to escape; but would cause no  long-term physical damage and could not injure the woman.  She foresees women inserting the device as part of a daily security routine.  She said a majority of women surveyed said they were willing to use the device,  which will go into production next year and sell for one rand (20 cents).  Ms. Ehlers said she was inspired after meeting  a traumatised rape victim who told her, "If only I had teeth down there."

An advantage that isn't mentioned here, is that the victim would not run the risk of becoming pregnant. A disadvantage, only in Middle Eastern countries, is that most virgins will not use the condom.

A risk that must be considered is violent retaliation by the rapist.
