A Canadian police officer has said that 'women should avoid dressing like sluts' to avoid being victimised. Is this something that Asian men and women would agree with?

At 1- A Canadian Police officer has said "women should avoid dressing like sluts " to avoid being raped. Is this something that Asian men and women would agree with?

A copper in Toronto has cause a huge stir by making the remarks during a talk on personal safety to a group of students at the city's York University. His comments have sparked a worldwide reaction with women's group organising "Slutwalks" across the globe in protest at what he said. The organisers say his comments perpetuate the myth that its the woman who is raped who is to blame for the crime and not the man committing it.

But do you think what he says contains a kernel of truth? No-one would EVER condone the actions of a rapist, but do you believe that a woman has to take responsibility for the way she dresses? Should women think about the consequences of what they're wearing before they go for a night out? Do you think this attitude is more prevalent amongst our community? Are Asians more judgemental of a women who dresses sexily?

After 2, Do mobile phones ruin relationships? And we'll be talking to people behind the new film about Tamil gangs in London, "Shooting in Tooting".
