Homemade and legal self-defense trick

Date Rape

[thiswomanzwork]

But I was raped by someone I knew and never expected and by the time I realized they were serious and were NOT going to stop, they had overpowered me (I was a teen then). I tried to bite and that was when they began hitting me. Here are some sites I use about Acquaintance Rape- sometimes more commonly but less effectively called "Date Rape".

The following is from the Counseling Center for Human Development:

52% of women students have experienced some form of sexual victimization.

1 in 8 college women have been victims of rape.

1 in 12 college men admitted to sexually abusing women but did not consider themselves rapists.

Of the women raped, almost 75% didn't identify it as such.

47% of rapes were by first or casual dates or by romantic acquaintances.

Over 1/3 of the women didn't discuss the rape with anyone, and over 90% didn't report it to the police.
