Very different to in the 60's and 70's.
I wonder just how many girls and women did not report rape at the time.

Yeah... I guess being born in the 90s and growing up in the age of information and in a time where there are human rights breakthroughs all around the world and here in my own country, I find it hard to fathom why a woman would keep the fact she was raped to herself for 40 years; but then I don't know what life was like back then... and I know how scary something like that must be, to go to the police about something so scary and have to relive it... I'm just amazed at the sheer numbers of people coming forward
