Every two minutes a woman is raped in the United States. One in four college women will experience rape or attempted rape by the time she graduates.
Although many people believe that women are usually assaulted by strangers, at least 70 percent of rape victims know their attackers. And the danger of sexual assault isn't limited to women. According to a recent study, 10 percent of rape victims are male.
For teens, these statistics are especially concerning because the risk for women peaks from 16 to 19 years of age. Women of these ages are four times more likely to experience rape, attempted rape or sexual assault than the general population.
