Rape is a crime of humiliation and control, not sex.
Like all types of sexual violence, rape violates a person's trust and feeling of safety.

Sadly, it is common to blame the victim - for dressing in a sexual way, for having too much alcohol, for being out alone at night. But sexual violence is NEVER the victim's fault, no matter when, where or how it happened. The only person to blame is the rapist.
