I personally have been raped, so I am not surprised. I do want to say that it's hard to go to the authorities, especially if you have been through the process. What can we do there's not that much support out there but when you do find it, it helps, yes. So may all that have been raped I pray that you will have the strenghth to tell. Be strong
