News of the gang rape accusations surfaced last Sunday after the girl's distraught mother lodged a complaint with the police. The Takua Thung gang incident is not the first case of rape to stun the nation. According to the study, there was an average of around 30,000 rape cases per year, or 82 per day, between the years of 2009 to 2013. A new study from the Pavena Foundation for Women and Children has further revealed that it received 656 reported rape cases in 2015. To prevent more rape cases from arising in Thailand, civil society and parent networks must take care of their children.
