Did you know that convicted drug dealers are sentenced in prison longer than convicted rapists? That fact is quite surprising as drugs are asked for, whereas rape is not. Knowing this, what can we do to prevent rape crises in both men and women?
It is time that we stop blaming the victims. We live in a country where, if a person says that they have been raped, we don't ask if they're okay, we ask what they were wearing. 98% of rapists will never spend a day in jail and 68% of sexual assaults are never reported to the police, meaning that the attackees are afraid to speak up. We have to be an advocate to survivors, we cannot silence the ones who need to talk.
Another thing that can be done is to punish rapists more than we are. Referring
