As we discussed, I have collected some information about the misconception of rape and other information that I felt would be useful as you prepare to organize your pamphlet for women at the University of Texas at Austin.
Rape can be devastating, dehumanizing, and brutal.
Rape victims usually go through a re-victimizing stage when they confront their attackers. Victims not only suffer from the crime s physical and psychological aspects, but also from legal implications. Even though medical and law enforcement facilities are presumed to help a victim, they can often contribute to more anguish. Their unsympathetic or judgmental response makes the victim feel more the accused than the accuser. This report should give you some more helpful information for your pamphlet.
