myths about rape

Myth: Alcohol and drugs turn people into rapists

fact: Drugs and alcohol are never the cause of rape or sexual assault. It is the attacker who is committing the crime not the drugs and/or alcohol.

Myth: When it comes to sex girls say 'no' but they really mean 'yes'

fact: It's simple - If two people want to have sex with each other it should be something that they both agree and consent to.

Myth: Rape is only rape if someone gets physically forced

fact: This is not true. Rapists often use many emotional pressure and manipulative techniques to intimidate and coerce their victims rather than physical force.
