A widely circulated social media video alleged that Indian politician Rahul Gandhi made derogatory remarks blaming women for sexual violence.
According to the clip, Gandhi appeared to state in Hindi, “80% of rapes happen because of women. Rape happens in India, and rape does not happen in Bharat. A girl belongs in one place; she should be locked in a cage. She should be under control. She should not work. And boys should have complete freedom.”
However, verification reveals that the footage has been heavily edited and taken out of context. The complete, unedited video shows that Gandhi was actually quoting and critiquing the regressive views held by other politicians, rather than expressing his own beliefs.
