Delilah Bon releases new song ‘Dead Men Don’t Rape’

DELILAH BON has released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Dead Men Don’t Rape, is the brand new single from the alter-ego of HANDS OFF GRETEL‘s Lauren Tate, and follows on from her self-titled debut album which was released in May last year.

Speaking about the new song, Bon says, “after Roe vs Wade was overturned in the USA, I saw the very real aftermath on social media. So many women feeling completely helpless knowing their human right to bodily autonomy had been stripped from them. It made me think of how the system was failing women and those with uterus’ so badly, especially with such high cases of rape and the majority of those cases not resulting in convictions. Not only are the victims being punished in a system that’s meant to protect them, the punishment of illegal abortion in many countries is worse than that of actual rapists. It’s heartbreaking to see cases of women and girls killing their rapists in self-defence and spending their life behind bars because the system would not protect them. I wrote, mixed and produced this song in three days after being so deeply hurt by everything that’s happening right now.”
