Thousands of
women have taken to the streets to demand an end to Brazil's 'culture
of rape' blamed for a horrifying attack by 33 men on a 16-year-old girl.
Protesters
flooded central streets in cities including Sao Paulo and Rio de
Janeiro, carrying signs with slogans such as 'We are all bleeding' and
'Not the victim's fault.'
The largest rally was in Sao Paulo, where more than 5,000 women marched.
The nationwide protests came a day after the Senate passed a bill
increasing the penalties for gang rape and criminalising rape recordings
