There is no absolute protection from rape, but there are precautions that can be taken to lower the chances of assault.
Rape can happen to any one at any time in any place regardless of precautions taken.
Rape is the sole responsibility of the rapist. The risk of being raped by an acquaintance is greater than the risk of being raped by a stranger. The rapist may be a date, spouse, neighbor, friend, supervisor, co-worker, or stranger. Think ahead and consider your alternatives if confronted by a rapist Follow your instincts if they tell you something is not right about the situation. Your intuition is one of your greatest gifts.
