Sexual assault is a difficult topic to discuss, both because of its borderline-taboo status and uncomfortable nature. It's come to my attention, though, that while victims are opening up to the topic of sexual assault, the discussion is largely being held by the women of our society. The reason of this is pretty clear: as far as sexual assault goes, 91% of rape and sexual assault victims are female, leaving 9% for the males, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC). Of the United States population, one in five women and one in seventy-one males will face sexual abuse. The statistics are chilling, but what's worse are the long-term impacts of such encounters, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, paranoia being the most common mental effects. All that being said, though, are the statistics correct?
