In Brazil, the land of mini bikinis and voluptuous carnival dancers, most people say a woman who shows off her body deserves to be raped, according to a poll that has triggered outrage.
Of the 3,810 respondents of both sexes who responded to the government's Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) survey released this week, about 2,480 -- 65 percent -- justified raping women who wear "clothing that shows off the body."
And 58.5 percent of respondents also agreed that "if women knew how to behave, there would be fewer rapes."
Most of the May-June poll's respondents -- 66.5 percent -- were women.
Brazilian women -- and some men, too -- promptly reacted angrily on blogs and social media to the study's findings.
