Also, teach youngsters how to identify potential rapists. Maybe they have a certain behavior that you may notice and so on.
3. FOCUS ON CHARACTER BUILDING.
This is something lacking in both the liberal and the religious institutions. I have studied in both and I know what goes on there. Liberal education pays no attention to character building so you can’t expect much. The only thing you can do is have a separate class where the youth are taught what should be their character as a Muslim and an active member of society.
As for religious education then Islam focuses A LOT on that but sadly it is the least focused part in Madaris. We have kids who have been studying for years but don’t have the manners to react decently if someone disagrees with them. Teachers who care about this are very few. I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own years jokes going on between the teacher and students while they are studying the translation of the Quran. Students steal each other’s mobile phones. They talk to girls at night while studying in the morning.
And one important thing is that men are taught from a young age in our society that they must respect HIS OWN MOTHER, WIFE, SISTER, AND DAUGHTER. Therefore he plays with someone else’s sister or daughter because well my sister isn’t like this and neither will I ever accept that my sister talks to a guy or goes out alone with him. Let’s start by changing this thinking. Respect every girl and DO NOT use her emotions to toy with her.
4. STOP THE MEANS LEADING TO SUCH INCIDENTS.
Easy access to porn, movies that sexually arouse you, difficulty in getting married because we have made it so difficult.. all these are factors that one way or another, directly or indirectly push a person to do such a sin and the sooner we realize it the better.
