Sensitive Madagascar passes law allowing castration of child rapists (1 Viewer)

Madagascar’s Parliament has passed a law allowing for the chemical and, in some cases, surgical castration of those found guilty of the rape of a minor. The law has prompted criticism from international rights groups, but also found support from activists who say it’s an appropriate deterrent to curb a “rape culture.”

Parliament of 28 million passed the law on Feb. 2 and the Senate, the upper house, approved it last week. Justice Minister Landy Mbolatiana Randriamanantenasoa said it’s a necessary move because of an increase in child rape cases. In 2023, 600 cases of the rape of a minor were recorded, she said, and 133 already in January this year.

Surgical castration “will always be pronounced” for those guilty of raping a child under the age of 10, according to the law’s wording. Cases of rape against children between the ages of 10 and 13 will be punished by surgical or chemical castration. The rape of minors between ages 14 and 17 will be punished by chemical castration.​

Agreed. Makes me wonder why it isn’t the law globally.

They deserve worse than castration in my opinion. But it's better than doing nothing at all.
