Just out of curiosity, have you defined what "rape" consists of for ach of the countries your contrasting?
Being formerly accused of rape, I can definitely answer that. In Australia, rape is defined as non-consensual sex.
In the Middle East, rape is defined as sex outside of marriage... but only if 4 men of good reputation watch from start to finish the rape being perpetrated, and agree that the person was being raped.
In sub-Saharan Africa, once upon a time, rape was how AIDS victims thought they cured themselves of AIDS.
In the USA, rape is looking at a stuck up irascible woman.
In Japan, rape is having sex with someone under the age of 13 years.
