Have you ever been warned by several governments that where you plan to travel almost guarantees rape? I do know several countries where they’ve earned against war/travel because of war.
Absolutely. There are several international organizations that maintain travel advisories.
That said, they weren’t tourists. They owned a family business there. And in any case, it’s not right to blame victims for violence inflicted on them. It may not be smart to walk through Gary, Indiana at night, but if you get mugged it’s still not your fault that someone inflicted violence on you. It’s never a woman’s fault that she got raped, despite how provocatively she dressed or which dodgy bar she chose to visit.
You said that it’s a false equivalency to compare this case to the hypothetical rape case, and it is not. They are both examples of victim blaming, which is simply not justifiable.
I think your heart is in the right place, but this is a false equivalence.
How does what GP said not satisfy the definition of victim blaming? And if it is victim blaming, then where’s the false equivalence?
