Readdressing Responsiveness to Rape in Korea
Rape is a serious criminal act that has to be punished accordingly so as to protect the rights and values of the people. Under the Philippine constitution, rape is committed under Art. 266-A of the Revised Penal Code “[by] a man who shall have carnal knowledge of a woman through force, threat or intimidation; when the offended party is deprived of reason or otherwise unconscious; by means of fraudulent machination or grave abuse of authority; or when the offended party is under twelve years of age or is demented, even though none of the circumstances mentioned above be present.” It can also be committed “[by] any person who, under any of the circumstances mentioned( in paragraph 1 here of,) shall commit an act of sexual assault by inserting his penis into another person’s mouth or anal orifice, or any instrument or object, into the genital or anal orifice of another person.”(Republic Act No.8353 which took effect on October 22, 1997) In Korea, rape victims can only be women.

Death penalty must also be actualized on severe rape cases. Death penalty is considered a weighty punishment, hence, the court refrain from using it. However, there is no question in enacting death penalty in severe rape cases. It can prevent severe rape cases by showing that rape is a serious crime which deserves a serious punishment.
Finally, I believe that giving more focus on sex education can help decrease rape cases. There is a need for Koreans to be open-minded when comes to essential issues such as sexuality and rape. The government must make an effort to educate young minds about sexuality and related issues.
