Rape is an act of violence, not sexual passion. It is an attempt to hurt and humiliate, using sex as a weapon. Most women are raped by stragers in high risk situations outside the home- hitchhiking, walking alone at night, going to a party given by stragners. Rape can and does happen in these situations, but approximately one-third of all victims are attacked in their homes. In over half the reported rapes, women know their attackers.
Women invite rape by dressing seductively.
Victims do not cause rape, It can happen to anyone- children, grandmothers, students, working women, mothers, wives, the rich and poor. In fact, police believe that in some stranger rape situations, rapists tend to prey on women who look frightened, easily intimidated, or seem to be daydreaming. In other words, rape victims often are in the wrong place at the wrong time. The majority of rapists rape only once. Most rapists continue until caught.
