Kasthuri Patto is a member of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Rights and Gender Equality.
“I’m appalled by this statement,” she said, referring to Senator Mohd Imran Abd Hamid’s remarks in the Dewan Negara today that men can be influenced to commit acts like rape, molest and incest.“This is important, we men need to be protected. The actions andclothing of women can seduce us into breaking the law and cause us to be charged with a crime.”
“These are the types of men who claim ownership over women, who have no regard for respect of women and who are driven by their misogynistic and patriarchal beliefs that women are mere pieces of property and they can take what they want.” She called on all men and women to condemn victim-blaming, noting that some of them might be victims of sexual assault or violence themselves.
The All Women’s Action Society had earlier criticised Imran’s views, saying moral policing has not worked in the past.Former Association of Women Lawyers president Goh Siu Lin said the focus here should be on educating abusers, harassers or rapists and making those who violate the rights of others accountable.
Meanwhile, human rights watchdog Suaram called for Imran to immediately issue a public apology and retract his remarks, saying such claims were “absurd”.
