Rape Statistics
1 out of every 4 college women polled was sexually assaulted during four years at college. (Ms. Magazine Study of Sexual Assault and Rape.)

Assault and Rape
Between 1973 and 1987, (14 years), over 2.3 million women reported sexual assaults in the United States. 71% of these victims avoided being raped by taking self-protective measures. (United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics.)

Develop Your Options
In 1988, rape victims took self-protective measures in 86.7% of the cases. "Rape victims were more likely to defend themselves than assault or robbery victims." (Criminal Victimization in the United States 1988).

Don't Be Victimized By Fear
"In fact, the most often used strategy for avoiders (of rape) appears to have been a combination of screaming and use of physical resistance." (Bart, P. & O'Brien, P. 1985). Stopping Rape: Successful Survival Strategies. Pergamon Press, New York.)
