If she is not ready to report, please respect that decision as well. Don't break her trust by telling others about it, without her permission. She should have the control over who knows, and over when and with whom she talks about it. Don't blame the survivor. It was not his or her fault.
Rape is a violent crime, it is a criminal act.
Like other crimes of violence, there's the potential that it can happen to any of us. While there are steps we can take to protect ourselves, ultimately it's something that may happen no matter what we do. There are methods you can use to protect yourself and reduce the risk of becoming a victim of crime. If you are rape survivor or have survived any form of sexual abuse, domestic violence, incest, or a hate crime we welcome you.
