1 in 5 women and 1in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives. 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before they turn 18 years old. In about 8 out of 10 cases of rape the survivor knew the perpetrator. There's a lot more numbers around this issue out there.
Cost/Impact of Sexual Assault
Each rape costs approximately $151,423
Annually, rape costs the U.S more than any other crime ($127 billion), followed by assault ($93 billion), murder ($71 billion), and drunk driving, including fatalities ($61 billion)
81% of women and 35% of men report significant short- or long-term impacts such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Health care is 16% higher for women who were sexually abused as children and 36% higher for women who were physically and sexually abused as children
