Figures vary by study and definition, but researchers consistently find this touches far more lives than most people assume.
Women in the U.S. report experiencing rape at some point in their lives, per federal health survey data.
Men in the U.S. report the same — a figure widely considered an undercount, since men underreport most.
Assaults are committed by someone the survivor already knows — a partner, friend, or acquaintance, not a stranger.
"It wasn't your fault. Not what you wore, what you drank, where you were, or what you didn't say. The only person responsible for an assault is the person who committed it."
