In April, and every month to follow, people across the country are encouraged to embrace their voices to show support for survivors, and speak out if they have experienced sexual assault themselves. One month isn’t enough time to solve this serious issue, but it’s a fantastic place to start. This month, do your part to end the widespread problem that is sexual assault. Here’s a list of statistics about sexual assault in the U.S.
Nearly 1 in 5 women in the United States have experienced rape (or attempted rape) at one point in their lives.
1 in 67 men in the United States have experienced rape (or attempted rape) at one point in their lives.
Every 98 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted.
Only 5 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison (which is why it is so important to speak out if this happens to you).
The majority of sexual assaults happen at or near the victim’s home, often by someone they know, and/or trust.
