Open your mind, or just do a quick google search. Whichever suits you.

Also if you've ever been through a court case with a loved one or friend that has come to court, you'll know that the defense team will paint you as the one in the wrong. I went through a rape case with a family member, being with her when she reported it, through the rape crisis centre, photographing her injuries to the court case where the defense painted her as a slut who was asking for it, dragging up previous partners but not the guys history. After the case she said given her time over she wouldn't report it and would advise others not to....the stigma, abuse and trauma is not worth it. That's one of the main reasons women don't bother.....and it does happen too often.
