New Rape-Axe Condom Given Fundamental Approval
It is unbelievable that in this day and age, women and children still live in fear for their safety. When will the law be on their side? Why are rape victims made to feel they are in the wrong or at fault? Many societies tend to treat rape victims at the criminal. The time, it seems, has come to fight back.
The Rape-axe prototype was first launched on 31st August 2005 at Kleinmond, Cape Province, South Africa. The device consists of a latex sheath containing razor sharp barbs on the inside. It is worn inside the vagina very much like a tampon. In the process of a sexual assault, as the penis enters the vagina the barbs attach themselves to the penis causing considerable pain and discomfort and can only be removed surgically. The offender cannot pee or walk while the condom is still attached and trying to remove it his self will only result in the grip becoming tighter. As there is no other way to remove the sheath, there is no escape from arrest as medical staff will automatically alert the authorities.
During this years’ World Cup, 30,000 of these condoms are being distributed in South Africa which, according to the Human Rights Watch, has the highest rate of rapes in the world and it is believed that 16 percent of the population suffers from HIV.
Doctor Ehlers pointed out how some women in South Africa, in a bid to prevent rape, insert razor blades into their vagina. She believes it is time something is done to help these women who have little or no rights and that it will make some men have a rethink before attempting to sexually assault a woman.

Im no rapist, but I like a good time and that does not involve violence to any degree during sex.
As someone stated early'er about Mase or a Taser being enough of a deterent, I would have to agree, this is just down right Midevil and dark aged.
To those who are deserving of this ripping surprise OK, but I see it as tool for other alteirior motives and oppertunity plus unfortunatley its main purpose will not be as such if the hunter actually survived the out come and the prey was able to fight back.
In short, do the Crocadile Dundee.
He may also simply remove the whole unit physically with a knife, stick ba or other implement in order to avoid arrest.
In some societys Australia for example if the rapist died from blood loss she may still be culpable for manslaughter or for G.B.H.
I actually do think it is a good invention with some limited aplication.
However the mention of HIV in the article is inapropriate as injuring either party in a way wich draws blood will only increase transmission rates.
The Weapon itself (It is clearly a weapon of self defense much as a can of Mace or a taser or a gun) can just as easily be used as a weapon of Malice on an unsuspecting John... Adding a whole new angle to the term "the honey trap"

How does the female take it out?
If she can take it out then surely a man can do also?
Anyway sounds like a simple yet hopefully effective product.
