they are not believed. Chance are you know someone who was raped, or was sexually assaulted, you might even know of a few women that were. They will not talk about it, why , because most people still think a woman puts herself in the place to be raped or assaulted, or asked for it. Imagine what they were in days gone by.
============================================
The recent CDC report, based on surveys conducted in 2011, found that almost one in five women (and 1.7 percent of men) have been raped in their lifetimes. In a single year, 1.6 percent of women reported experiences that are considered rape—almost two million cases. But the NCVS report recorded just 243,800 cases of rape or sexual assault in that year, 12 percent of the CDC findings. Meanwhile, a report compiled by the FBI, which only documents cases that were brought to police, shows only 83,425 rapes that year.
