answer:Two-thirds of women who are raped, are raped by someone they know. According to to RAINN, reasons that women that don’t report rapes include feeling like it’s a personal matter, fear of reprisal, and feeling the police are biased. Individuals who do report rapes often regret that they did, because their treatment in the legal system is psychologically as bad as the experience itself. It takes a strong person accuse someone of rape. We have a family friend that is very active with the rape crisis center. Most women are raped by someone they know. It’s very difficult to get past the idea that somehow you caused the person you know to do this to you, that it is somehow your own fault. There is a tendency of people who know the parties to doubt what the woman says when the rape is someone who is known. Women want to put the act behind them, and feel that keeping quiet will enable them to “get over it” faster.
