Rape Forum Reveals the Unreported Issue
A rape forum recently in Cleveland revealed some of the problems relating to rape crime. Many women just do not report the crime. For example:
—- A Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter revealed she was raped
23 years ago and is just coming forward.
—- A 40 year old woman, in tears, revealed publicly for the first
time that she had been raped in 1994 when she was a
Peace Core volunteer and is just now seeing a therapist.
There are an estimated 500.000 rapes a year althought the crime figures show just about 1/2 of that. It is said that every
4th woman or 6th man is affected by this crime.
Don’t be a crime statistic. Practice self defense I like the MAP method:
1. Take a martial arts class.
2. Avoid dangerous situations. Don’t take chances.
3. Pack a stun gun .pepper spray or personal alarm
Be prepared. Don’t let these criminals curtail our activities or permanently affect our lifes.
