More than 1 in 3 women will be raped at some point in their lifetime. Less than 1 in 10 women who are raped will report it. Women enjoy being overpowered and raped. This myth fails to differentiate between rape and consensual intercourse. 8 out of 10 survivors know their rapist by at least a first name.
Rape is a crime of violence.
Survivors suffer humiliation, degradation, and loss of control over their lives and bodies. Rape is a women's problem. Rape is society's problem, it is everyone's problem. It is not just a women's problem because, generally, men do the raping and must be held accountable for their actions. Those in our society who teach that rape is an acceptable form of behavior, and who promote rape-glorifying entertainment must also be held accountable.
