This is obviously a very important issue and it’s great that you and your organisation are taking a stand against violence towards women.
I would, however, be dubious about your suggestion of ‘punishment in public for rapist’. The idea seems quite old fashioned to me and meeting violence with violence just never seems like a reasonable response in my opinion. Instead then of promoting peace, a violent mob mentality can be developed and I think that’s a very dangerous route to go down. It’s important that we move away from the days of public humiliation and violence such as being put in the stocks and stoning.
I’m not at all arguing that this isn’t an important and pertinent issue, it is, but I feel like it should be approached in a different way
