Date Rape

Date Rape:

Date rape is one of the most common, and under reported forms of rape that happens. Yet, because the attacker is not only someone that is known to the victim, but also trusted by them, date rape can be extremely damaging in its effects. Until recent years, date rape was not even taken seriously by the police, but fortunately things are changing in this regard.

You may hear some people say that those who have been raped were somehow "asking for it" because of the clothes they wore or the way they acted. That's wrong: The person who is raped is not to blame. Rape is always the fault of the rapist. And that's also the case when two people are dating — or even in an intimate relationship. One person never owes the other person sex. If sex is forced against someone's will, that's rape.
