One out of every four women will experience either a sexual assault or an attempted sexual assault during their college years.
Acquaintance rape occurs far more often than stranger rape.
Most sexual assaults are never reported. No one likes to think about the possibility that they or someone they care about could be sexually assaulted. Not thinking about it, however, is a luxury that no college student can afford. The vast majority of sexual assaults involve the consumption of alcohol or other drugs, either by the victim or the perpetrator. When people are in places where they feel comfortable and feel safe they let their guard down and are less likely to be watching for warning signs than if they were in a strange place.
