One in four women say they've been the victim of rape or attempted rape in college. One in twelve men say they've forced a woman to have sex, but don't realize it's rape. Rape does not have to happen.
Men can prevent it and women can take steps to reduce their vulnerability to it.
Stay away from men who are pushy, controlling, get angry when they're drunk, hit you or restrain you, are excessively jealous or blatantly sexist. Never have sex with someone who is too drunk to communicate clearly. Alcohol does not cause rape, but almost all rapes by acquaintances happen when people are drunk. Stay sober or drink responsibly. Rape is never the victim's fault, and rape is not the punishment for poor judgment or high-risk behavior.
