As a nation we need to talk about ... rape

As a society, we need to talk less about the victims of rape and what they should have done differently, and more about the crime and its perpetrators, suggests Joyce Fegan

LET’S talk about rape. One in five women that walk among us has been raped. One in 10 men has experienced sexual assault. One in five girls and one in six boys have been sexually abused.

In cases of child sexual abuse, 89% of perpetrators are male, and acted alone.
