Stop women violence

I just feel really breached whenever I see or hear stories about emotionally or physically abused women. I am not what you call a feminist but really, I don't think it's appropriate to treat us the weak gender.

Weeks ago, I have read a story about a Japanese girl, Junko Furuta, who was tortured to death for 44 days. Having read her story, I felt pain, agony and mercy for the poor girl. I don't want to get into details but she was gang-raped, fed cockroaches and urine to drink, hands tied to the ceiling and body used as a punching bag and lit her body by a lighter to burn. Junko already begged her torturers to kill her on Day 40 since having experienced such would make anyone wish to die.

She doesn't even deserve that kind of treatment from her killers since she doesn't even know them. What's most terrifying about the story was, a lot of people (reportedly) knew about her being held hostage but nobody wanted to speak up for different reasons - one of them was fear of being gotten back to. 

What's sad was that, the killers didn't even serve reclusion perpetua or a death sentence since they were minors at that time. They only served 7-8 years in prison and now are freed men. 

It's just so sad that the murder of Junko Furuta didn't get the justice it deserved. And these murderers are again out.
