The Misconception of Rape As we discussed, I have collected some information about the misconception of rape along with other information that I felt would be adequate 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 can make the victim feel more the accused than the accuser. This report should give you some more helpful information for your pamphlet as I have included material in which I feel the general public would be interested in gaining some knowledge toward and also material that I felt women should be exposed to in a more critical manner.
