College and Teen Specific statistics

For every 1,000 college women living on a campus, 35 rapes happen every academic year, and Fewer than 5% of these assaults are reported to law enforcement officials ("The Sexual Victimization of College Women" published by the U.S. Dept. of Justice in December 2000).

1 out of 6 college women report having been the vicitm of rape or attempted rape during the preceding year (National Survey of Sexual Violence on College Campuses, based on 1998 Ms. Project on Campus Sexual Assault).

20% of high school girls ages 14-18 report being hit, slapped, shoved or forced into sexual activity by a dating partner (Journal of the American Medical Association, 2001)

Girls aged 16 to 19 are four times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault (National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) designed by the U.S. Department of Justice (2000))
