In light of news that Kentucky's ex-governor, MattBevin, pardoned a man convicted of raping a 9-year-old girl because the victim's hymen was in tact, we're re-sharing this very important reporting on dangerously unscientific virginity tests:
. Medical professionals have the “responsibility to lead efforts to enact legislation that prohibits virginity testing,” it read.that they have lied about hymen exam results, claiming women and girls are virgins to protect them from possible harm—the assumption being that if they refuse to perform the exam, someone else could come up with a potentially dangerous result.
, according to a 2015 U.S. Department of Justice report. Sexual activity deemed immoral or unacceptable by family members is often the prompt for “honor” killings, but it’s difficult to quantify because “information about honor violence is held tightly within families” and “victims or potential victims may not report victimization.”
after she told her she was no longer a virgin. “She straddled her daughter and poured bleach down her mouth, thinking it would cleanse her,” Birmingham police officer Warren Cotton told. He responded to the mother’s 911 call to their home, where he found Jasmine lying lifeless on her bedroom floor., threatened with a knife, and restrained in her bed by relatives after she spoke to a boy outside of her school.
