Stats from a flier..

  • In the U.S 1.3 women are raped every minutes. This means 78 rapes each hour, 1,872 rapes each day, 56,160 rapes each month and 683,280 rapes each year.
  • Approximately 90% of rape survivors know their attacker.
  • One in four college women are survivors of rape or attempted rape.
  • 65% of attacks are unreported, making sexual assault the "silent epidemic." Sexual assault is the most drastically under-reported crime.
  • 43% of college-aged men admitted to using coercive behavior to have sex (including ignoring a woman's protest, using physical aggression, and forcing intercourse).
 I found these in a flier, thought I'd share them.
