30-90% of victims of sexual assault do not immediately identify it as rape. This is due to partner dynamics (typically someone the victim trusts), coercion, manipulation, trauma, dissociation, shame, and self-blame.
Stop ignoring the effects and aftermath of rape.

As a rape survivor I really hate when this topic goes mainstream, because the interest in this social problem is always temporary. And it’s rare people aknowledge rape culture, as they tend to minimize it to a personal experience, even though it’s systemic.
