Young girls and women have been given a clear but grim message about the nature of sexual assaults. The sensitive subject requires a great deal of honesty and straightforward facts to increase awareness and illustrate the devastating picture of a family torn apart by domestic violence, emotional, physical, and sexual. It has been acknowledged that the likelihood if being raped by someone you know, a date, for example, is greater than the chance of the attack coming from a stranger. Many women have a tendency not to report rape because of the traumatic memory, but it is especially difficult for women to accuse an acquaintance of rape. Fear, shame, and embarrassment to name a few, are part of the emotional hardships that a woman experiences. The numbers are even lower still for the number of wives who report rape by their so-called trustworthy and intimate partner for life. Many people are unaware that marital rape is even a crime, let alone realize how recently the law has changed.
