A call to action to protect the human rights of women and girls, this expos reveals how interest groups deny the seriousness of rape to further their political agendas.
Through firsthand interviews with victims; medical and judicial records; social media; and statistics from police, the FBI, and government agencies, this analysis explains the tactics used by these groups.
The personal stories of young rape victims demonstrate how assaults on their credibility, buttressed by claims of low prevalence, prevent many from holding their rapists accountable, enabling them to rape others with impunity.
A resources section is also included for those seeking help, advice, or hoping to become involved in the struggle.
