FEMALE RAPE IN THE U.S.

Rape is a form of sexual activity that occurs without the consent of the victim and includes the use of force and implied force.

Rape is not a crime that usually occurs in dark alleys or in deserted areas at night, as a matter of fact women are likely to be raped anywhere and under any circumstance. Female rape is the fastest growing crime in the United States, nowadays 1.3 women are raped every minute and 83% rape cases are ages 24 or under.

The post-traumatic stress disorders victims suffer after a rape, are:
-Difficulty sleeping
-Headaches
-Increasing fears
-Overeating
-Difficulty concentrating, etc

A big question is: What changes after a rape?, and the answer is EVERYTHING!!, you change your mind, change your lifestyle, your daily routine, your believes, dreams, goals, even your clothes, etc; I mean you change almost everything in your life and you don´t even realize because it not depends on you; the things just change as an answer of the violence you experienced. Maybe you want things to change so that nothing can reminds you that awful violence you experienced.
