Rape Prevention/SurvivalFlora Thomas-GuilloryIt can happen to anyone:
It can happen anywhere, at any time, while you are in a public place, or even while you are in the privacy of your own home. It can happen any time of the day or night. It happens in the inner city and the suburbs. In over 70% of the reported cases, the rapist is an acquaintance, friend, neighbor, relative or friend of the victim. To add insult to injury, the victim is all too frequently treated like a criminal by our justice system, which manages to reinforce her feelings of shame and guilt.
