Title What's in a name? Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet The First (Newsletter of the Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church) Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 500-600 words Country/Territory United States of America Date 9/03/13 Description The article offers a theological reflection on two high-profile rape victims, separated in time-space - Ang May Hong in Malaysia, 1987 and Jyoti Singh Pandey, India, 2012. I argue for the need to name to break the silence of shame (which includes naming marital rape as rape). In doing so, one potentialily redresses discriminatory cultural practices even biased religious interpretations that condone gender-based violence as a means of regulating the sexuality of women.
