Somehow, over the evolution of humans, the male has been the one to get the resources and the women tend to the home, hearth and children. Its a symbiotic relationship with both parties being equal (or it must have started off that way atleast). Somewhere down the line, the perception of women being weaker and therefore are open to exploitation set in and they were systematically denied education and other skills that could've made them the bread earners. Multiple religions also promote the same concept. This exploitation of women has been going on for hundreds of years with very few incidents coming to the fore. (as males were the policing authorities and any complaint would increase their workload). Therefore the convenient excuse that the woman must have done something to incite the violence/rape against her. Till the time this entire societal structure does not fundamentally change and women are not made equal partners, such incidents shall sadly occur with Males thinking that they can get away with it. Secondly, swift and severe punishment needs to be meted out to perpetrators of such crimes and they be made examples of. To strike at the root cause women need to become policymakers and shed the "Weaker Sex" tag.
