Against the backdrop of a steadily escalating murder rate (a record
1,680 in 2009), violence against women in general has increased.
163 women (almost ten per cent of the total) were murdered in 2009.
Women and children are no longer spared by violent gangs bent on
reprisals. Jamaica's murder rate is now the highest in the world
(63 per 100,000 persons). Reported rape cases trended downward in
2009 to 673 cases; carnal abuse cases (sexual intercourse with
minors), also fell to 511. However, it is estimated that three
times this number of cases go unreported. The victims are shamed
into silence. In some communities, rape is a rite of passage, an
act that is condoned and accepted as normal behavior. A 2009 study
found that 49 per cent of girls aged 15-17 in Kingston (who, on
average, first have sex at age twelve) have experienced forced or
violent sex. One third reported that their first sexual encounter
was forced. Rape, incest and carnal abuse, especially within the
home, are "covered up." The attitude of health workers, law
enforcement officers, and even neighbors and family members, is
often indifferent or insensitive. As a result of this
marginalization, HIV/AIDS among young women aged 15 to 24 years is
more than double the number of men in the same age group. Women
account for 42 per cent of AIDS cases in Jamaica.
