Sexual violence happens far too often — and a recent report is proof that something needs to change.
On Sept. 5, the CDC published a report on its National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. Using data collected in 2011, the report examines intimate partner violence, sexual violence and stalking based on a telephone survey which polled 12,727 people over the age of 18 in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Out of all the participants, a total of 6,879 were women and 5,848 were men.
Defining rape as “completed forced penetration,” “attempted forced penetration” or “completed alcohol- or drug-facilitated penetration,” researchers found that approximately 19.3 percent of American women and 1.7 percent of American men have been raped in their lifetimes.
