Artist's Comments

R A P E

I said "Stop",
I said "Don't",
I asked "Why?",
"Why was it me.."

The statistics for rape are scary,
The percentages are outrageous,
The fact that is true--is depressing.

In the United States, 1.3 women are raped every minute.
That results in 78 rapes each hour, 1872 rapes each day,
56160 rapes each month and 683,280 rapes each year.

1 out of every 3 American women will be
sexually assaulted in her lifetime.

Only 16% of rapes are ever reported to the police.

Victims of sexual assault are:

3 times more likely to suffer from depression.

6 times more likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

13 times more likely to abuse alcohol.

26 times more likely to abuse drugs.

4 times more likely to contemplate suicide.

In 2006, there were 272,350 victims of rape,
attempted rape, or sexual assault.
(These figures do not include victims 12 years old or younger.)

Every 2 minutes, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted.

Here's the math. According to the U.S. Department of
Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey — the
country's largest and most reliable crime study —
there were 272,350 sexual assaults in 2006
(the most recent data available).

There are 525,600 minutes in a non-leap year.
That makes 31,536,000 seconds/year.
So, 31,536,00 divided by 272,350 comes out to
1 sexual assault every 116 seconds,
or about 1 every 2 minutes.
